Free Trade in the Americas: Economic and Political Issues for Governments and Firms (New Horizons in International Business)

These essays are the outcome of a conference on Trade Liberalization in the Western Hemisphere and reflect the participants' desire to establish a strong, stable hemispheric economic community. The contributors, who are specialists in international business, political science, and economic policy, call for U.S. leadership and for government and corporate cooperation in establishing policies for fiscal and structural interdependence in the region. The contributions cover topics such as the economic history of Latin America, the European experience of economic integration, experiences under NAFTA, energy development, and alliance capitalism.
