BookIntegración en América del Norte (1994-2016): reflexiones desde el PIERAN

HLAS annotation

• This book collects several reflections, presented at a colloquium in 2014, about the relevance of North American studies in light of the 20th anniverasry of NAFTA. The central aim of all the articles is to explore whether Mexico, Canada, and the US have sought and advanced policy initiatives in areas beyond the formal framework of NAFTA, such as foreign policy, security, energy, as well as a shared sense of identity. The main takeaway from the book is that NAFTA has provided a regional legal mechanism for converging towards a common culture of business and regulations. However, the coordination of policies has proved to be more complex given the security concerns and the foreign policy positions of the three countries.
