Globalization and the Canadian Publishing Industry Essay by Master Researcher

This paper discusses several questions relating to the Canadian publishing industry and its continued viability. The paper considers the following two aspects in depth: which trade strategies and practices the Canadian publishing industry should adopt in order to maintain viability; and the role that preservation of cultural identity plays in the Canadian publishing industry. The paper concludes with the observation that the Canadian publishing industry should adopt a global trade practice, and should distance itself from the role of de facto cultural ministry that has been placed upon it.
