A Vision of a Continental Future
In its first seven years, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) tripled        trade and quintupled foreign investment among the U.S., Mexico, and Canada,        increasing its share of the world economy. In 2001, however, North America peaked.          Since then, trade has slowed among the three, manufacturing has shrunk, and illegal        migration and drug-related violence have soared. At the same time, Europe caught up,        and China leaped ahead. In The North American Idea, eminent scholar and policymaker        Robert A. Pastor explains that NAFTA's mandate was too limited to address the new        North American agenda. Instead of offering bold initiatives like a customs union to        expand trade, leaders of the three nations thought small. Interest groups stalemated        the small ideas while inhibiting the bolder proposals, and the governments        accomplished almost nothing.To overcome this resistance and reinvigorate the        continent, the leaders need to start with an idea based on a principle of        interdependence. Pastor shows how this idea--once woven into the national        consciousness of the three countries--could mobilize public support for continental        solutions to problems like infrastructure and immigration that have confounded each        nation working on its own. Providing essential historical context and challenging        readers to view the continent in a new way, The North American Idea combines an        expansive vision with a detailed blueprint for a more integrated, dynamic, and        equitable North America.
