Résumé

The object of this paper is twofold: 1.) building on previous work (Pérez and Polèse 1995, 1996; Paelinck and Polèse 1998), to advance our thinking on modeling the regional impacts of continental integration, focusing on North America; 2.) to examine how Quebec fits into this framework, comparing it to other Canadian regions and provinces, specifically with respect to trading relationships with the United States. We shall argue that although Quebec is certainly culturally distinct within North America, the spatial orientation of its economy can nonetheless be largely explained by the same factors (specifically geographic proximity) that apply to other regions. The first part of the paper is largely conceptual, introducing our framework for analyzing the impact of continental integration on sub-national regions. The second part is empirical, drawing heavily on recent data for inter-provincial and international trading patterns of Canadian provinces.
