Summary

• The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), despite some vociferous opposition by different groups in Canada, the United States and Mexico, has a reasonable chance of becoming reality. Because of the substantial economic disparity which exists among its member states, the development of NAFTA is getting into unchartered waters. To understand its implications requires a thorough examination of all possible and probable outcomes through articulate research.
• This book is a collection of timely and precise articles on NAFTA written by experts in the field who examine the Canadian, American and Mexican points of view. The scholars provide an overview as well as their insights of how NAFTA impacts on macroeconomic issues, national perspectives and bilateral issues, cross-border and industry-specific issues, and the environment.
• This book serves as an excellent primary source of information on many of the significant aspects of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
