Sommario/riassunto

With European Monetary Union well underway, Europe is starting to look at nearby countries and culturally closer continents to define its strategies for the future. In this book, chapters by leading Mexican economists are matched with reactions from European colleagues. They offer a novel viewpoint on the critical assessment of the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) process, and its implications for the economies of the two continents.
