North
American Free Trade Agreement
The North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) took effect on January 1, 1994. Since then, trade
between the United States and Mexico has increased dramatically. The
sources listed here contain information about NAFTA negotiations, the
final agreement, and its implementation.
Individual aspects of the NAFTA that have attracted
attention and generated commentary include its dispute
resolution mechanism, investment and
intellectual property provisions, and side
agreements on labor and the environment.
One NAFTA provision that is still quite controversial in
the United States calls for the opening of U.S. roads to Mexican trucks and buses.
