Description

Although the public equates free trade areas with free trade, these areas operate under preferential trading arrangements — with free trade for members only and implicit protection against non-members. This volume probes the claims of proponents of free trade areas and analyzes the two principal initiatives associated with recent US trade policy: NAFTA and APEC.
