Darrel Pearson weighs in on the nature of protectionism and international markets in Patti Ryan's article, “The Protectionist Problem.” Appearing in the Canadian Bar Association's The National, Darrel discusses the rise of various forms of protectionism in light of current economic conditions. “It's premature to call the current trend towards protectionism a reversal of globalization… we won't have a better sense for at least another year of whether swelling protectionism could have a seriously deglobalizing effect—no one really knows where this is going to end.”
