Abstract:

The Clinton Administration has a chance to build on the success of the NAFTA. By reaching out to other countries in the Americas, Clinton can begin to construct the building blocs for a hemisphere-wide free trade community. Between now and July 1, the Clinton Administration will craft a regional trade policy that will either look toward the future and embrace free trade or pursue managed trade and protectionism. As the NAFTA and other free trade pacts in the Americas show, the wave of the future is surely free trade.
