    NAFTA

    The North American Free Trade Agreement, also known as “NAFTA” took effect January 1, 1994. It is a trade agreement between the three countries of North America, which are The United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, the Mexican President, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and former United States President George H. Bush organized the agreement. The relationship between the countries were already on good terms, especially between the two northern countries US and Canada which five years before NAFTA had gone into effect by the agreement that was signed of Free Trade Agreement that eliminated all tariffs between the two countries. It was only time before a more integrated agreement was put into effect for all of North America.

    (a) Suggest reasons why the memberships of trade blocs, such as the EU, has changed over time

    Memberships of trade blocs changed over time because countries realized that there are a huge amount of benefits to joining a trade bloc union. Benefits such as Free trade within the bloc which means that they have free access to each other’s markets, members of the trade bloc are encouraged to specialize. This means that at the regional level there is a wider application on ability to carry out a particular economic activity e.g. making a specific product more efficiently than another activity.…

    Summary: Effects Of NAFTA On The North American Free Trade Agreement

    The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was a bill implemented on January 1st, 1994. Presented by President Clinton, NAFTA wanted to introduce free unrestricted trade between everyone on the North American continent (U.S, Canada, and Mexico) to eliminate trade taxes and increase trade. The effects of NAFTA are debated fiercely as to whether the bill had a positive or negative effect. The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) is a border community that rests right on the border of Texas and Mexico and spans quite a ways both east and west; all the way to the gulf. Since the RGV was so close to one of the trade partners of the NAFTA agreement, significant effects occurred in the area.…

    U.S./Mexican relations have had their difficulties over the years. The most significant issue was the approval of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada. Mexico knew it needed to step up its foreign investment but needed some help. Many Americans were hesitant and believed that after NAFTA was passed, their jobs would disappear and the manufacturing plants would move to Mexico. Some plants moved, however, the U.S. still reaped benefits from lower produce prices. Mexico benefited with the improved wages and working conditions as some manufacturing plants moved there. The down side of NAFTA is the price many Mexicans have had to pay for these slightly improved working conditions and wages. In addition, businesses the Mexican government had to privatize or basically put up for grabs were not part of the original intent when Mexico asked the U.S. for help.…

    What is NAFTA? NAFTA stands for, "North American Free Trade Agreement." NAFTA is an agreement that was signed between Mexico, U.S., and Canada. NAFTA was put into place on January 1, 1994. The reasoning behind NAFTA was to create an agreement was that helped to eliminate "tariff" and also non-tariff barriers to free trade among, Mexico, U.S., and Canada.

    The NAFTA Agreement

    International trade has always been a vital part of a country’s economy and was in fact one of the most important factors that promoted the industrialization of the United States in the first place. Various instances of international trade can be observed throughout the history which helped the world to evolve into its present state, beginning with the traders who formed the Silk Route in the fourteenth and fifteenth century to transport silk, which turned out to not only be very important, economically, but also for the exchange of cultures and ideas. Today, foreign trade is the backbone of our modern, commercial world. Producers and manufacturers in different countries benefit greatly from an extended business sector, as compared to being restricted, and offer inside their nation's boundaries, therefore extending and expanding international trade by the federal government is necessary for businesses inside the US to prosper.…

    EU and also NAFTA: Types of Grouping of Nations

    There are many types of grouping of Nations this includes the EU (European Union) and also NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Grouping of nations can have both positive and negative consequences. Firstly, a positive about the EU is that the people in the EU can move around freely to work or live there without using a VISA and further benefits can be a brain drain, for example, migrants from Poland go to the UK to work there as there is an employment gap in dentistry and healthcare therefore the UK is getting more skillful expertise within this sector. A benefit about NAFTA is that this grouping has removed most trading restrictions and tariffs allowing goods to be distributed between these countries easily for development. For example the removal for these tariffs has allowed Mexico received increased foreign direct investment. (As foreign companies established plants in the country in order to gain access to Mexico’s NAFTA trading partners’ markets), this has led to higher wages for Mexican workers and increased sales from the agricultural sector, therefore it increases the Mexican’s quality of life.…

    North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta)

    NAFTA, The North American Free Trade Agreement, came into existence on January 1, 1994. NAFTA is basically a free-trade agreement between the three North American countries of the Unites States, Canada, and Mexico. The main idea behind this treaty was to provide the people and the businesses of the North American countries many incentives to trade amongst each other. The duties on U.S goods shipped to Mexico were reduced by 50 percent, and other restrictions were to be removed from many categories, such as motor vehicles, computers, automotive parts, and agricultural goods. NAFTA was also put into action in order to protect the intellectual property rights of the businesses, such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Other supplemental agreements were also signed in later years, which allowed for worker and environmental protection. Although many people might think that the NAFTA is like the EU (European Union), it is quite different. NAFTA, unlike EU, does not set up a collection of supranational governmental bodies, nor creates any law that is superior to the national law of each of the member countries (Wikipedia; International Trade Canada).…
