An assessment of the impact of NAFTA on Mexico and its implications
for the broadening of hemispheric economic cooperation.
Four years after the launching of the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), debate over its costs and benefits remains
intense -- as revealed late in 1997 when President Clinton failed
to get Congress to approve his administration's request for a "fast
track" authority to negotiate the broader proposed Free Trade Area
of the Americas (FTAA). This volume of original essays attempts to
understand why by looking closely at the effects that NAFTA has
already had and sorting out fact from fiction.
The first part of the book examines the impact that NAFTA has
had on the Mexican economy, seeking to distinguish those trends
that can be attributed to Mexico's participation in NAFTA from
those that are more related to domestic politics and long-term
structural weaknesses of the country's economy. The second part,
using an interdisciplinary approach, studies the wider political
and economic ramifications of NAFTA, asking how much NAFTA has
helped or hindered the efforts to establish the FTAA. The essays
together provide alternative explanations for the anti-NAFTA mood
that prevails among important sectors and constituencies within the
United States.
The contributors are Peter Andreas, Denise Dresser, Stephan
Haggard, Jonathan Heath, Sylvia Maxfield, Manuel Pastor, Adam
Shapiro, and Ngaire Woods.
