The Free Trade Area of the Americas: good for Latin America?

Article Abstract:

The usefulness of trade agreements such as the North American Free Agreement (NAFTA) and the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) to all trading partners is analyzed. It is argued that in such regional agreements, trade is liberalized on a discriminatory basis so that a country benefits from a trading partner's liberalization but also pays from its own liberalization. It is also contended that NAFTA and FTAA will be more beneficial for the US than Latin American countries because the former can provide little preferential access to the latter while the reverse is not true.
