NAFTA: An Introduction Eliminates restrictions on the flow of goods, services and investments between Mexico, Canada, and the United States Went into effect January 1994 All tariffs will be phased out by 2008

Classical Liberalism’s Perspective The country should benefit from lowering trade barriers –Better prices to consumers –Better goods (increased quality) –Markets for exporters –Economic Growth

Classical Liberalism’s Perspective However, freer trade has not come without serious social costs –Asymmetric benefits –Rural Mexicans have lost jobs –Worker rights issues –Environmental Degradation - Social Unrest (Zapatista protests)

Neoliberal Institutionalist Perspective Economic integration has allowed Mexico to reap absolute gains –Increased international trading power and influence –US Assistance –Monetary stabilization –GDP growth

A Macroeconomic Analysis NAFTA has been very politically controversial –Only 29% of Mexicans think the treaty is helping them How should we evaluate the success of a trade agreement?
