The support of Utah's congressional delegation for the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) is disappointing. This legislation passed the House on July 27 by just two votes, with all of Utah's representatives voting in favor of the agreement. CAFTA would essentially expand the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to include five additional Central American countries and the Dominican Republic. While the agreement is touted as being good for trade, it contains a number of additional provisions that promise to hurt workers in all the countries included in the agreement. As with NAFTA, American jobs will continue to flow south of the border, and opportunities for workers to organize in each of the nations included in the agreement are hurt by the agreement. CAFTA may be goo...

The economic crisis that began in the US has had a dramatic effect on economies around the world, but none so much as the impact on its two closest trade allies and Nafta partners, Canada and Mexico. The serious consequences of such a close alliance have led some to call for a thorough reexamination of the Nafta agreement. On the other hand, there are many who argue that a tighter economic partnership among Canada, the US and Mexico -- more along the lines of the European Union model -- would be of benefit to all. Nafta has never been significantly amended since its inception despite many threats to do so. It is probably better for governments to focus on ways to jointly solve these new problems than obsess about how they did or didn't solve the problems of the past, says Robert Paterso...

In recent years foreign direct investment in developing nations has come under threat by government policies seeking to expropriate or nationalize the assets of foreign corporations. A variety of political and economic motivations have given rise to expropriation activities. This paper examines both the political, economic and legal basis underpinning these expropriation activities and outlines a corporate risk management strategy designed to confront these emerging political/economic threats.

In developing countries such as Mexico and Guatemala, economic restructuring plans imposed by the International Monetary Fund and the trade policies of NAFTA, FTAA, and GATT have led to unemployment rates of over 25 percent. Presently unrestrained by governments, such neo-liberal (or global corporate capitalist) policies have devastated the countryside in Mexico, ending federal subsidies for corn, sugar, and produce and stopping development projects, driving thousands off their lands. This has led to the impoverishment of the vast majority and pushed millions to migrate, primarily to the U.S., in search of food and employment. Then, after creating migration, we make the immigrant worker "illegal" in order to provide more profits for corporations. [David Bacon] argues, "In the global eco...

The long-term viability of regional common markets, such as the EU, will depend on whether the income, investment, and technology gaps that exist between rich and poor members of such unions can be narrowed. This article argues that foreign direct investment (FDI), supported by a rational industrial policy, can play a major role in promoting economic development within an integrated regional market, while reducing inequities within the community. The success of Ireland in attracting inward FDI with the support of EU industrial policy is cited as a positive example in this regard.
