nations Canada, The United States, and Mexico. When signed in 1994 it was heralded as a way to bring greater economic prosperity to all three nations involved in the agreement by way of eliminating tariffs on trade and other encumbrances to trade between the three nations. For the purposes of this policy discussion we will focus on the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico within the wider North American free trade zone. The idea behind NAFTA, as it pertains to the U.S. and Mexico, is that with the elimination of trade barriers between the two nations (amongst other stipulations of the agreement), Mexico’s economy would benefit from increased trade with the U.S. and that the U.S. economy would benefit from cheaper imported products. Maquiladora’s established on the Mexican side of the U.S./Mexico border import, duty free, machinery, equipment and primary goods from the U.S., produce secondary goods and then export these secondary goods back to the U.S. This, in theory was to increase employment on the Mexican side of the U.S./Mexico border region while providing U.S. consumers with cheaper products because of the cheaper labor used to produce said products. Indeed trade did increase. According to Gretel C.

NAFTA and Mexican immigrants in the US In the last decades, migration has been an important topic in North America. NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) was promised as a solution to the patterns and processes of Mexico-US migration. “During the 1993 battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement, the proposal's promoters' most politically effective argument was that NAFTA would keep Mexicans out of the United States” (Jeff Faux, 2003). The opposite has happened since…

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global sea level. “Climate change emerges as an issue ‘beyond borders’ in need of global accords.

paradigm for all other nations’ banking systems. This paper argues that the U.S. experience is unique, not paradigmatic, and that bank mergers are not efficiency-driven; instead, this merger wave has arisen because of macrostructural circumstances and because of shifts over time in banks’ strategic motives. This paper argues that large, offshore banks often engage in cross-border mergers because they want to provide financial services to households and firms that have reached minimal…
