The North American Free Trade Agreement

by Khosrow Fatemi (Editor), Dominick Salvatore (Editor)

Overview

After years of debate and a turbulent passage through Congress, The North American Free Trade Agreement came into effect on 1st January 1994. The agreement heralds a new era in North America's economic and political behavior and will dominate the international economic arena of the western hemisphere in the coming decades. In order to understand the implications and challenges of NAFTA on both a domestic and international level, this book examines the corporate, managerial and financial consequences for the participating countries (United States, Canada and Mexico), as well as the wider impact of economic regionalism in the new world order, especially in relation to the European Union. An overview of the agreement itself is followed by analysis from an external perspective and an examination of intra-regional issues.

Editorial Reviews

Inaugurates a new series designed to encourage research and scholarly publications in a rapidly growing area of business studies. In order to understand the implications and challenges of NAFTA on both a domestic and international level, examines the corporate, managerial, and financial consequences for the participating countries--US, Canada, and Mexico--as well as the wider impact of economic regionalism in the new world order, especially in relation to the European Union. An overview of the agreement itself is followed by analysis from an external perspective and an examination of intra- regional issues. Some of the studies were first presented at the Third International Conference of the International Trade and Finance Association; others were selected from those published in a special issue of The International Trade Journal.
