Changing Business Environments, International Trade And Regional Integration: Who Needs Cafta?

Author

  • Julius M. Walecki

Abstract

Despite little progress in FTAA negotiations, other regional trade agreements are being considered by the US government. The recently signed CAFTA brings hope to smaller developing nations in Central America and it should offer new opportunities to US businesses. However, the new trade pact has not been free from controversy and criticism, and opposition to free trade has been stronger in the USA than in Latin America.
