International economic law on the one hand and national economic laws and policies on the other, form the borderlines of the "playing ground" within which the design for closer economic cooperation can be drawn. Before anything can be done, it is of utmost importance to know and study these "borderlines". This book is an attempt to set out the "borderlines" not only for intra-ASEAN economic co-operation but also for economic cooperation between that region and Canada by considering the legal framework for international economic relations within ASEAN and between ASEAN and Canada.

This long-awaited new book from Cynthia Day Wallace picks up the thread of her best-selling "Legal Control of the Multinational Enterprise: National Regulatory Techniques and the Prospects for International Controls," In the present work she applies herself to legal and pragmatic aspects of control surrounding MNE operations. The primary focus is on legal and administrative techniques and measures practised by host states to control - transparently or less so - foreign MNE activity within their territories, or even extraterritorially when effects are felt within national boundaries. The primary geographic focus is the six most investment-intensive industrialized states (namely, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom). At the same time an important message of the present study is precisely the implication for the developing countries as well as for the emerging market economies of central and eastern Europe - and even Asian nations besides Japan, because it is the sharing of this very 'experience of years' that can best serve to facilitate a fuller participation on the part of the up-and-coming economies in the same global market place.
