NAFTA in the New Millennium by Edward J Chambers

NAFTA in the New Millennium by Edward J Chambers

The North American Free Trade Agreement binds Canada, Mexico, and the United States together in an ambitious and far-reaching experiment in regional economic integration. As we enter the new millennium, a central concern is whether NAFTA should be amended or reformed and how it might become the foundation for a hemispheric Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). To assess these possibilities, NAFTA in the New Millennium raises key questions: . How has NAFTA performed and how has it affected the member countries? . Is there popular support for NAFTA in Canada, Mexico, and the United States? . What are the prospects for change in the foreseeable future and for the longer term? . How does NAFTA fit into the still-evolving world economy? What is its relationship to other regional integration schemes and to multilateral connections on a global scale? Prominent contributors from Canada, Mexico, and the United States examine broad dimensions of NAFTA's history, politics, economics, and outlooks for future development. They address such topics as: . The rise of "free trade" as an idea . Occupational status and perceptions of NAFTA . Immigration policy and economic integration . The need for a social development fund . Prospects for dollarization . The impact of 9/11/01 on regional and hemispheric trade negotiations.
