Many existing theories of economic liberalization fail to account
for Mexico's experiences. Why has the Mexican government risked
alienating its primary constituencies by pursuing trade opening and
joining NAFTA? Big Business, the State, and Free Trade develops a
general explanation of trade policy coalition politics and uses it
to explain the opening of Mexico's economy. It emphasizes the role
of business and state actors in constructing competing trade policy
coalitions. The book traces the formation and relative strength of
a protectionist and a free trade coalition across a series of
policy episodes from the 1970s to the 1980s. It pays particular
attention to the North American Free Trade Agreement, which
consolidated a strong free trade coalition between big business and
state elites. The conditions that strengthened the free trade
coalition have also contributed to higher levels of political and
economic instability since 1994. Coalition politics is likely to
become more important as Mexico's political system democratizes.
