Conceived in an era of rapid post-Cold War economic liberalization,
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), signed in 1994,
brought together Canada, Mexico and the United States with the aim of
creating a regional trade bloc that eliminated the friction and costs
of trade between the three nations. Without an overarching
institutional framework, NAFTA never sought to attain the levels of
integration achieved by the European Union – for many it was a
missed opportunity – and never quite fulfilled its potential as a
single market. And under Trump’s administration a trilateral trade
agreement has become increasingly precarious. This book provides an
overview of NAFTA and its successor the USCMA, explaining the theory
behind the politics and economics of trade in North America. It offers
an accessible and concise analysis of the key provisions, shortcomings
and past revision efforts of the governments involved. At a time of
increasing protectionism and heightened awareness of trading
relationships, the book highlights the lessons to be learnt from the
fraught history of one of the largest trade blocs in the world.
