The USMCA, NAFTA Re-Negotiated and Its Business Implications in a Nutshell: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The USMCA, NAFTA Re-Negotiated and Its Business Implications in a Nutshell" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

No lawyer or business operating in North America can escape the significance of NAFTA and its successor, the USMCA agreement of 2018. This Nutshell introduces students, lawyers, government officials and business persons to the law and economics of North American free trade. It first examines the origins, operation and impact of NAFTA 1994. The changes made by the USMCA agreement of 2018, and their implications for business, are explored in detail. In preparing this Nutshell, we have attempted to address the interests not only of North Americans, but also persons located outside the region who are concerned about the externalities of North American free trade, intellectual property and foreign investment law.

Preface

NAFTA 1994 and its re-negotiated 2018/2019 successor, the USMCA, remain essential to business operations in North America. No lawyer or business person in Canada, Mexico or the United States can escape the significance of these free trade agreements. They blend national legal and business cultures and traditions.

One issue is what to call the new trilateral North American agreement. The Trump administration prefers the name United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Canada prefers New NAFTA and/or CUSMA in English or ACEUM in French. Mexico calls it T-MEC in Spanish. For purposes of this book, we generally call the 2018/2019 agreement the USMCA.

In many ways, NAFTAs arrival in 1994 was a watershed moment for international trade. NAFTA law and its business impact greatly influenced a host of other free trade agreements around the globe. See R. Folsom, Free Trade Agreements: From GATT 1994 through NAFTA Re-Negotiated (West Academic Publishing). The USMCA in turn is influencing U.S. trade negotiations with the EU, Japan and others.

We initially collaborated with pleasure on Understanding NAFTA and Its International Business Implications , an interdisciplinary publication written just after NAFTA 1994 came online. A professional book, NAFTA Law and Business followed thereafter.

It has been a genuine pleasure to jointly prepare this Nutshell on The USMCA, NAFTA Re-Negotiated and Its Business Implications . In it, we attempt to evaluate NAFTAs impact since its inception, as well as the future implications of its re-negotiation.

We hope that students, lawyers, government officials and people in business will find this Nutshell a useful introduction. In preparing it, we have attempted to address the interests not only of North Americans, but also persons located outside the region who are concerned about the externalities of USMCA trade, technology and foreign investment law.

Following the established Nutshell style most citations are omitted. This style creates a book that reads easily and has been widely used in law and business schools. Selected Internet citations have been provided throughout and in the Web Resources index that follows this Preface.

For a global Nutshell on trade law and policy, see R. Folsom, International Trade Law including Trump and Trade . Your comments and suggestions concerning any of these books are most welcome.
