NAFTA entered into force in 1994 after a bitter Congressional debate. But NAFTA in operation has proved no less controversial than NAFTA before ratification, for both supporters and opponents of trade liberalization have cited experience with the agreement to justify their positions. To provide a factual basis for this ongoing debate, the authors evaluate NAFTA’s performance over the first seven years, comparing actual experience with both the objectives of the agreement’s supporters and the charges of its critics. They then examine future challenges and opportunities in the trade and investment relationships among the three partner countries and the broader implications for new trade initiatives throughout the hemisphere. |

The European Union was put into place incrementally over fifty years, not by the citizens of the member states, but by the efforts of an intellectual elite who disguised their ultimate goal of a regional government. Today, a bloated, unelected bureaucracy has rule over hundreds of millions of people -- people who have no say over the EU's actions...or their own futures.THINK IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE? Don't be so sure! According to New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi, it already has. The Security and Prosperity Partnership -- announced in 2005 by the leaders of Mexico, the U.S., and Canada but never presented to Congress for approval -- is already laying the groundwork for the merger of the three nations into a North American Union. "TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION ?" THAT 'S JUST FOR STARTERS.... |

A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Drawing on a wide range of documents and interviews with officials in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as well the author's experience as an aide to Senator Bill Bradley during negotiations, Interpreting NAFTA is a history of the agreement's development, from opening talks to final passage. Frederick W. Mayer combines recent work in international relations, comparative politics, interest groups, and public opinion to develop a broad theoretical framework that crosses between international relations and domestic politics. Mayer demonstrates that to understand NAFTA, one must view it as simultaneously a matter of political interests, institutions, and ideas. |

This extensively revised coursebook is designed to introduce law students (and many practitioners) to a broad range of real and hypothetical problems involving NAFTA, several newer free trade agreements, and the Southern Cone Common Market. After discussing GATT Article XXIV and the global v. regional trade agreement debate, the authors provide background material on the U.S. - Canada Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA and economic integration in the Western Hemisphere. Separate chapters provide in-depth coverage of trade in goods, trade in services, investment, intellectual property, dispute resolution and the "side" agreements on labor and on environment. Finally, the authors look beyond NAFTA to the process that ultimately led to "Trade Promotion Authority" and to the U.S. - Chile Free Trade Agreement, discuss the now-stalled FTAA negotiations; and introduce MERCOSUR. |

As United States television programs, movies, music, and other cultural products make their way around the globe, a vigorous debate over "cultural imperialism" is growing in many countries. This book brings together experts in economics, sociology, anthropology, the humanities, and communications to explore what effects the North American Free Trade Agreement will have on the flow of cultural products among Mexico, the United States, and Canada. After an overview of free trade and the cultural industries, the book covers the following topics: dominance and resistance, cultural trade and identity in relation to Mexico and to French Canada, and intellectual property rights. Based on present trends, the contributors predict that there will be a steadily increasing flow of cultural products from the United States to its neighbors. This book grew out of a 1994 conference that brought together leaders of the cultural industries, policy makers, and scholars. It represents state-of-the-art thinking about the global influence of U.S. cultural industries. |

Folsom's NAFTA and Free Trade in the Americas provides a quick reference for students or practitioners on the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Central American Free trade Agreement, MERCOSUR and numerous bilateral FTAs in the Americas, notably NAFTA-Plus agreements. No lawyer or business operating in the Americas can escape NAFTA's significance. NAFTA also represents the future, a blending of national legal and business cultures and traditions. The author has attempted to address the interests not only of North Americans, but also persons located outside the region who worry about NAFTA's externalities. |

Food, televisions, computer equipment, plumbing supplies, clothing. Much of the material foundation of our everyday lives is produced along the U.S./Mexico border in a world largely hidden from our view. Based on gripping firsthand accounts, this book investigates the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement on those who labor in the agricultural fields and maquiladora factories on the border. Journalist David Bacon paints a powerful portrait of poverty, repression, and struggle, offering a devastating critique of NAFTA in the most pointed and in-depth examination of border workers published to date.
Unlike journalists who have made brief excursions into strawberry fields and maquiladoras, Bacon has more than a decade's experience reporting on the ground at the border, and he has developed sustained relationships with scores of workers and organizers who have entrusted him with their stories. He describes harsh conditions of child labor in the Mexicali Valley, the deplorable housing outside factories in cities such as Tijuana, and corporate retaliation faced by union organizers. He finds that, despite the promises of its backers, NAFTA has locked in a harsh neoliberal economic policy that has swept away laws and protections that Mexican workers had established over decades. More than a showcase for NAFTA's victims, this book traces the emergence of a new social consciousness, telling how workers in Mexico, the United States, and Canada are now beginning to join together in a powerful new strategy of cross-border organizing as they search for economic and social justice. |
