NAFTA
30 pages in length. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was established as a means by which Canada, Mexico and the United States could effectively bolster their economies, their work forces and their political status. In more finite terms, it was formed to promote a climate of fair marketing, improve investment opportunities, protect industrial and intellectual property rights, as well as establish procedures for the resolution of disputes. Going in, there were a number of concerns voiced by those who did not believe the Agreement would hold to its promises even before it was implemented; others had full confidence in its ability to benefit all countries involved. Several years have passed since the treaty was executed. How has it stood the test of time? Is there a future for it and other similar agreements that are waiting in the wings? Industry analysts are divided as to whether or not NAFTA has truly lived up to what President Clinton proposed it would be, with some saying the job market did, indeed, profit from its existence, and others contending that there are more people out of work or earning lower wages than ever before. The writer discusses several key points of NAFTA. Bibliography lists 22 sources.
