Folsom's NAFTA and Free Trade in the Americas provides a quick reference for students or practitioners on the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Central American Free trade Agreement, MERCOSUR and numerous bilateral FTAs in the Americas, notably NAFTA-Plus agreements. No lawyer or business operating in the Americas can escape NAFTA's significance. NAFTA also represents the future, a blending of national legal and business cultures and traditions. The author has attempted to address the interests not only of North Americans, but also persons located outside the region who worry about NAFTA's externalities.
