Deep integration, as defined by Simone Claar and Andrea Nölke, means trade agreements which not only contain rules on tariffs and conventional non-tariff trade restrictions, but which also regulate the business environment in a more general sense. Issues of deep integration include competition policy, investor rights, product standards, public procurement and intellectual property rights, for example.[1]
Canada and United States
[edit]Deep integration can also specifically refer to the harmonization of policies and regulations of Canada and the United States.
Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru
