	North American Free Trade Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North American Free Trade Agreement, known usually as NAFTA, is a free trade agreement among Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
		This agreement was an expansion of the earlier Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement of 1989.
		Furthermore, NAFTA was accompanied by dramatic reduction of the influence of trade unions in Mexico's urban areas.

	Project on International Courts and Tribunals
		The North American Free Trade Area, comprising Canada, Mexico and the United States, was established in 1992 by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
		The NAFTA Secretariat, comprised of the Canadian, U.S. and Mexican Sections, is responsible for the administration of the dispute settlement provisions of the Agreement.
		When general disputes concerning the NAFTA are not resolved through consultation within a specified period of time, the matter may be referred at the request of either Party first to the good offices of the Free Trade Commission, and, if agreement is not reached within a fixed period of time, to ad hoc arbitration.

		NAFTA called for immediately eliminating duties on half of all U.S. goods shipped to Mexico and gradually phasing out other tariffs over a period of about 14 years.
		NAFTA's approval was quickly followed by an uprising amongst indigenous people led by the Zapatistas, and tension between them and the Mexican government remains a major issue.

	North American energy independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		North American energy independence is a goal of many advocates of enhanced North American economic and physical security seeking primarily to reduce U.S. reliance on (what is to Americans) foreign oil, without increasing fuel taxes.
		Limiting oil imperialism to the North American Free Trade Area, reducing exposure to terrorism abroad.
		Lower balance of trade and foreign exchange stresses on the U.S. economy especially as more suppliers may begin to price oil in Euros.

	NAFTA
		There are even zealous free trade advocates who are worried that, by pursuing the creation of a North American free trade bloc, the US may be abandoning its traditional support for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the mechanism which had been the principal focus of trade liberalization efforts since World War II.
		Their sin was to suggest that US trade policies be predicated on the principle of reciprocity rather than on a comparatively abstract ideal like free trade.
		In vigorously pursuing a regional trading bloc so soon after the collapse of the latest round of multilateral GATT talks, the Bush administration appears to be tacitly admitting that it no longer considers the GATT to be a particularly useful vehicle for bringing discipline to the world trading system.

	Public Citizen \| NAFTA - North America Free Trade Agreement - North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
		NAFTA promoters - including many of the world’s largest corporations - promised it would create hundreds of thousands of new high-wage U.S. jobs, raise living standards in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, improve environmental conditions and transform Mexico from a poor developing country into a booming new market for U.S. exports.
		NAFTA was a radical experiment - never before had a merger of three nations with such radically different levels of development been attempted.
		The same interests who got us into NAFTA are now pushing to expand it and lock in 31 more countries in Latin American and the Caribbean through the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) and five Central American countries through a Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).

		Even though it has been almost four years since Canada, the United States and Mexico became a free trade area under the North American Free Trade Area the debate continues as to whether or not it was beneficial to all concerned.
		NAFTA has only been in effect for four years now but the experts are still deciding if it was beneficial to the US economy.
		Clinton does not seem to care if NAFTA is effective or not and wants to expand the free trade area to include both North and South America by the year 2005.

		Because of negotiations elsewhere around the globe on regional trade—such as those that led to the consolidation of the European Union, the formation of the North American Free Trade Area, and the rapid proliferation of bilateral free trade areas—the talk is not surprising.
		Free trade negotiations have brought some economies in the region together, but they also have led to links with nations outside the region.

	The North American Free Trade Agreement: Ronald Reagan's Vision Realized
		The NAFTA thus guarantees that American workers will remain the most competitive in the world and that American consumers will continue to have access to the world's finest goods and services.
		The North American free trade area that the agreement creates will produce 25 percent more goods and services than the European Community, giving North America enough economic muscle to challenge the emerging unified market in Europe and an East Asia market dominated by Japan.
		The approval of the NAFTA by the Congress is a recognition of these historic advances and will help ensure that the momentum in favor of economic and political liberty throughout the Americas is maintained.

		In the context of the North American Free Trade area, this divergence is perhaps surprising and requires analysis and explanation.
		There is certainly some fear that larger American multinationals can afford to take care of their interests within the European policy arena, more effectively than their smaller counterparts and subsidiaries in Canada.
		A second factor relates to the network of trade associations in Canada, which tend to be more inclusive than their counterparts in the United States.

		Negotiations on the trade in goods were completed in September, and tariff cuts will begin in 2005.

		But look beyond the blurred print, and the numbers speak for themselves: two-way trade between ASEAN and China was multiplying by 20% a year even before the two parties agreed last year on the first phase of tariffs liberalization.

	Political Affairs Magazine - The FTAA: A Recipe for Economic Disaster?
		The pending - but currently floundering - Free Trade Area of the Americas Agreement (FTAA) was launched at the Miami Summit of the Americas in 1994 as a U.S.-led initiative to expand the North American Free Trade Area Agreement (NAFTA).
		As a result of trade discrepancies, the Cancun talks collapsed, and in 2004, FTAA negotiations were suspended, spurring a division that has and will likely continue to inhibit the Bush administration’s ratification efforts.
		Rather than investing in key areas like the environment, health care, education and housing, member governments would have to divert much of their resources toward debt repayment, spurring further economic and social hardship.

		Summary: This paper evaluates the potential impact of NAFTA on Mexican migration with in the country and to the United States.
		Summary: This paper examines the effects on employment, output and wages of a free trade agreement between the U.S. and Mexico.
		The central question, approached using several theoretical models (such as a wage equalization model and a two-factor Hecksher-Ohlin model), is to determine if a U.S.-Mexico free trade agreement would have a significant effect on the historical trend in which U.S. imports of labor intensive goods have grown rapidly over time.

		KUALA LUMPUR — Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh who is here to attend the India-Asean summit, yesterday mooted a Pan-Asian Free Trade Area, along the lines of North American Free Trade Area and the European Union, as part of efforts to make the Asian region an economic power house.
		Like the North American Free Trade Area, and the expanding European Union, a Pan-Asian FTA will be a dynamic, open and inclusive association of the countries of our region," he said.
		Regional trading arrangements have become important building blocks of multilateralism in an increasingly globalised world, he noted.

	How Bush Can Prevent Creation of an Asian Anti-U.S. Trade Bloc
		Such an Asian trade zone is likely to reduce America's grow- ing trade with Asia and fuel greater protectionist sentiment in the U.S. Because of this, George Bush should enunciate an American free trade vision for Asia.
		This wisely aims to increase trade among ASEAN members and may lead to free trade arrangements with other countries.
		Such a strategy is needed to preempt moves by some Asian states to form a trade bloc that would exclude the U.S. By promoting a free trade alternative that seeks to spread the benefits of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada NAFTA, Bush can help ensure that Asia continues to play a greater role in America's economic growth.

		After free trade agreements with Saarc, Singapore and Thailand, India is likely to join Asean free trade area, which could lead to a major FTA in Asia, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said.
		This pan-Asian FTA could be the third pole of the world economy after the European Union and North American free trade area and would open up new growth avenues for Indian economy, Singh said.
		In addition to the pro-active role in WTO, where India was attempting to dismantle barriers to farm trade, the country is actively pursuing regional trade arrangements and concluded FTAs within Saarc and with Singapore as well as Thailand, Singh pointed out.
