The main aim of this thesis is to analyze and clarify the main differences between deep and shallow integration and to prove that a newly signed trade agreement between the EU and Canada, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), is a true representative of deep integration. Also, the thesis tries to give a general overview of the bilateral, economic and foreign relationship between the EU and Canada by reflecting their positions in the international environment. In support of the examination of this thesis, articles, books, research papers, and the internet were used when analyzing regional trade agreements, their main impacts, as well as the modern concept of deep integration and the CETA which belongs to this concept. After an examination of the economic performance of the EU and Canada in the global environment it became clear that the expected benefits from CETA overcome the potential losses for the both parties. Apparently, the CETA will also deliver benefits faster to the parties involved, and well beyond what can be achieved through the WTO. Afterwards the paper analyzes the main points which differentiate CETA from “traditional” trade agreements and make it the first of its kind. All aspects of the paper reached a consensus that CETA, as the deepest trade agreement that the EU and Canada have ever signed, would be the most beneficial step in their further relations. It can be stated with a reasonable degree of certainty that CETA will strengthen and further improve diplomatic and economic relations between the two parties.
L’obiettivo principale di questa tesi è di analizzare e di spiegare le principali differenze tra integrazione profonda e quella superficiale e di dimostrare che l’accordo commerciale appena firmato tra l’UE e Canada, l’Accordo Economico e Commerciale Comprensivo (The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA), rappresenta un vero esempio della profonda integrazione. Inoltre, questa tesi cerca di dare una visione generale del legame bilaterale, economico ed internazionale tra l’Unione Europea e il Canada, fornendo così un quadro della loro posizione nel contesto internazionale. Per sostenere lo studio di questa tesi durante l’analisi degli accordi commerciali regionali ed i loro impatti principali, così come il moderno concetto di profonda integrazione ed il CETA che appartiene a questo concetto, sono stati utilizzati articoli, libri, documenti di ricerca ed Internet. Dopo aver esaminato l’impatto economico dell’UE e Canada sul contesto globale è divenuto evidente che i benefici attesi del CETA superano potenziali perdite per entrambe le parti. A quanto pare, CETA offrirà anche più velocemente i benefici alle parti interessate, e molto di più di ciò che possa essere raggiunto attraverso l’Organizzazione mondiale del commercio (World Trade Organization, WTO). Inoltre, questo documento analizza i principali punti che distinguono l’accordo CETA dagli accordi commerciali “tradizionali” e fanno di questo accordo il primo di questo genere. Tutti gli aspetti di questo lavoro hanno raggiunto il consenso che il CETA, come l’accordo commerciale più profondo firmato tra l’UE e Canada, rappresenta il passo più utile nelle loro relazioni future. Con grande certezza si può affermare che il CETA rafforzerà e migliorerà ulteriormente le relazioni diplomatiche ed economiche tra le due parti.

Abstract
The main aim of this thesis is to analyze and clarify the main differences between deep and shallow integration and to prove that a newly signed trade agreement between the EU and Canada, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), is a true representative of deep integration. Also, the thesis tries to give a general overview of the bilateral, economic and foreign relationship between the EU and Canada by reflecting their positions in the international environment. In support of the examination of this thesis, articles, books, research papers, and the internet were used when analyzing regional trade agreements, their main impacts, as well as the modern concept of deep integration and the CETA which belongs to this concept. After an examination of the economic performance of the EU and Canada in the global environment it became clear that the expected benefits from CETA overcome the potential losses for the both parties. Apparently, the CETA will also deliver benefits faster to the parties involved, and well beyond what can be achieved through the WTO. Afterwards the paper analyzes the main points which differentiate CETA from “traditional” trade agreements and make it the first of its kind. All aspects of the paper reached a consensus that CETA, as the deepest trade agreement that the EU and Canada have ever signed, would be the most beneficial step in their further relations. It can be stated with a reasonable degree of certainty that CETA will strengthen and further improve diplomatic and economic relations between the two parties.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
