After more than two years of negotiations, in December 1992, the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States signed the North American Free Trade Agreement. During the months leading up to the signing labor, industry, environment, and religious groups from the three countries actively debated and lobbied their respective trade negotiators to gain support for their particular concerns. Lobbying by these groups continues as policy deliberations shift from treaty negotiations to the submission of enabling legislation and, ultimately in the United States, congressional authorization. This volume brings together key spokespeople from labor, industry, and government and presents the main arguments for and against the Free Trade Agreement as well as views on the Agreement's impact. The book is intended for policy makers, business managers, labor organizations, environmentalists, academics, students, and others who have an interest in understanding and exploring the issues surrounding the NAFTA debate.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful and practical... but not for everybody,
By Servando Mier Garcia (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The North American Free Trade Agreement (Paperback)
When I first saw this book I expected a deep explanation of each and every term and the way to find the tariff preference that any exporter would like to recieve. The book includes good details but doesn't have all the information for the tree countries. I recommend it because its very difficult to find public books that have the Free trade agreement text if you don't live in Canada, Mexico or USA. I suggest the authors to include an easy guide to find the products preference, rules of origin, quotas, etc. In general it is a good book.
