Book Description:
The North American Free Trade Agreement binds Canada, Mexico, and the United States together in an ambitious and far-rearching experiment in regional economic integration. As we enter the new milennium, a central concern is whether NAFTA should be amended or reformed and how it might become the foundation for a hemispheric Free Trade of the Americas (FTAA). To assess these possibilities, NAFTA in the New Milennium 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 contributers 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
