Description
Part of the "Insight" series, which presents evidence to support the advocacy work of Oxfam (UK/I) on behalf of poor communities - work which is central to the agency's relief and development programme in over 70 countries - this work examines the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which in 1994 created the largest free-trade zone in the world. The economic treaty united countries from the developed and the developing worlds. This book asks: will it lead to prosperity for all in Mexico, or will it leave the country open to exploitation and unfair competition? And what are the lessons to be learned from the NAFTA experience by other poor countries experimenting with policies of economic liberalization?
