NAFTA'S Impact on Mexican-American Relations: An Analysis
This five-page undergraduate paper examines the impact of NAFTA on the relationship between the United States and Mexico. In this context, the author examines whether free trade theories can be effectively translated into free trade practices, and notes that despite some success, the North American Free Trade Agreement provides numerous evidence that theory and practice do not always coincide, usually to the detriment of the weaker partner. NAFTA is essentially a business contract in which certain rights are guaranteed, at least in theory. In reality, for relations between Mexico and the United States to improve, their trade must be more equitable, not just in theory, but in reality.
