In its first seven years, the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) tripled trade and quintupled foreign investment among the
U.S., Mexico, and Canada, increasing its share of the world
economy. In 2001, however, North America peaked. Since then, trade
has slowed among the three, manufacturing has shrunk, and illegal
migration and drug-related violence have soared. At the same time,
Europe caught up, and China leaped ahead. In The North American
Idea, eminent scholar and policymaker Robert A. Pastor explains
that NAFTA's mandate was too limited to address the new North
American agenda. Instead of offering bold initiatives like a
customs union to expand trade, leaders of the three nations thought
small. Interest groups stalemated the small ideas while inhibiting
the bolder proposals, and the governments accomplished almost
nothing. To overcome this resistance and reinvigorate the
continent, the leaders need to start with an idea based on a
principle of interdependence. Pastor shows how this idea-once woven
into the national consciousness of the three countries-could
mobilize public support for continental solutions to problems like
infrastructure and immigration that have confounded each nation
working on its own. Providing essential historical context and
challenging readers to view the continent in a new way, The North
American Idea combines an expansive vision with a detailed
blueprint for a more integrated, dynamic, and equitable North
America.
