Mexico-U.S-Canada Relations in the New World Order

We are faced today with the most pivotal moment in this country's relations with Mexico and Canada. Over the last year, we have witnessed the ongoing dialogue intended to forge a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This free-trade agreement would be the largest and wealthiest in the world. The United States would be entering into a free trade agreement with its first and third largest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, respectively. This, prospectively, could have a direct impact on 350 million people in these three countries. We have heard a lot of reports on the benefits of such an arrangement from the three governments involved as well as from others who support the negotiations. We also know, despite repeated assertions by the administrations, that this deal is not only about trade, but also about lowering tariffs and other barriers. NAFTA involves something far more extensive than simply a commercial agreement. It will have a powerful impact on how the three nations of the North American continent will relate to one another, and to the world beyond, outside of the pure economic context
