  Passage 3

  As the economic role of multinational, global corporations expands, the international economic environment will be shaped increasingly not by governments or interactions institutions, but by the interaction be-teen governments and global corporations, especially in the United-States, Europe, and Japan. A significant factor in this shifting world economy is the trend regional trading blocks of nations, which has a potentially large effect on the evolution of the world trading system. Two examples of this trend are the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and Europe 1992. The move by the European Community (EC) to dismantle impediments to the free flow of goods, services, capital, and labor among member states by the end of 1992. However, although numerous political and economic factors were operative in launching the move to integrate the EC's marks, concern about protectionism within the EC does not appear to have been a major consideration. This is in sharp contrast to the FTA, the overwhelming United States protectionism. Nonetheless, although markedly different in origin and nature, both regional developments are highly significant in that they will foster integration in the two largest and richest markets of the world, as well as provoke questions about the future of the world trading system.
