An Introduction to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement: Understanding the New NAFTA (Edward Elgar Publishers, 2020), by David A. Gantz, has been published. The description follows:
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a modified and modernized version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), will continue to govern most economic relationships in North America, including the more than $1.3 trillion in annual regional trade in goods and services, for the foreseeable future.
USMCA, which entered into force July 1, preserves the bulk of the NAFTA structures that permit North American manufacturers to compete effectively with their European and Asian counterparts in North American and foreign markets. Now that it is in force, the USMCA should largely resolve the chilling effect on investment and new hiring generated by more than three years of uncertainty over NAFTA’s future.
This book provides a detailed analysis and critique of the provisions of the USMCA and the USMCA’s relation to NAFTA. It is designed to assist lawyers and non-lawyers alike, including law, economics and public policy scholars, business professionals and governmental officials who require an understanding of one of the worlds’ most economically and politically significant regional trade agreements.
The hardcover book is available from multiple sellers for under $120 on Amazon.com or on the publisher’s website, https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/9781839105319.
