A new study that compares the EU integration approach with the model of the North American Free Trade Agreement. These alternative ideas are particularly timely, given the deadlock in talks on the Free Trade Area of the Americas and in World Trade Organization negotiations.
[From press release]
The remaining Democratic Presidential contenders have committed to changing U.S. trade policy. But when it comes to specific
alternatives, the leading candidates tend to recite a similar refrain that is limited to incorporating labor and environmental issues in
future trade pacts. [Perhaps they could learn something from this study].
