NAFTA and after

Introduction

by Peter Costantini

I wrote this series for Inter Press Service, a newswire based in Rome, for the fifth anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement, January 1, 1999. Edited versions of two of the pieces, Slouching towards the Free Trade Area of the Americas and Unions tests labor side agreement, went out on the IPS newswire on December 20, 1998.
