NAFTA entered into force in 1994 after a bitter Congressional debate. But NAFTA in operation has proved no less controversial than NAFTA before ratification, for both supporters and opponents of trade liberalization have cited experience with the agreement to justify their positions. To provide a factual basis for this ongoing debate, the authors evaluate NAFTA's performance over the first seven years, comparing actual experience with both the objectives of the agreement's supporters and the charges of its critics. They then examine future challenges and opportunities in the trade and investment relationships among the three partner countries and the broader implications for new trade initiatives throughout the hemisphere.

This 2005 research report on the Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC) to the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) created under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was commissioned as part of the CEC ten-year review. In light of public concerns over the environmental and social impact of trade agreements, this report examines how a key institution brings a measure of democratic dialogue to the trilateral trade agreement. Drawn from public records, stakeholder interviews, and case studies, the report assesses JPAC's efficacy as a point of public entry and means of influence on the CEC's agenda as well as the environmental agendas of NAFTA Parties. Researchers found that JPAC provided a transparent, open, and substantive forum for public debate over trade and environment issues, and articulated public concerns to the NAFTA Parties. JPAC has been particularly effective in pursuing issues where cooperation advances issues of mutual interest, and while its effectiveness on more controversial issues has been mixed, it has at least provided a barometer of public concern. JPAC has experienced challenges and frustrations, and the report details these. In many ways, for example, JPAC's relations with environmental officials from Canada, Mexico and the US have evolved into a highly formalized, even ossified discourse. JPAC can become mired in technical details, and the challenge of fulfilling a dual role of public watchdog and strategic partner has led some to criticize JPAC's occasionally antagonistic approach to Council even as others challenge its willingness to collaborate and compromise. The report concludes that - despite this inherent tension - JPAC has been a useful public monitor, a sounding board for trade and environment issues, and a structured public point of entry to the CEC. It is a unique approach to public participation in trade accords, and warrants further study as a model.

Air and water pollution blighted northern Mexican cities long before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was a glimmer on the political horizon. Not surprisingly, when NAFTA became a political reality, environmentalists argued that commercial competition would weaken environmental standards in Canada and the United States and industrial growth in Mexico would further damage its weak environmental infrastructure. NAFTA's huge success in expanding free trade has concentrated population and environmental abuse at the US-Mexico border where it is most visible to Americans. Many environmental groups blame NAFTA and, drawing on its experience, now oppose new trade initiatives.Does the NAFTA record on the environment since 1994 justify its criticism? In this seven-year analysis, the authors review NAFTA's environmental provisions, including a side accord--the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC), the situation at the US-Mexican border, and the trends in North American environmental policy. They emphasize that the environmental problems of North America were not the result of NAFTA and the NAAEC was not devised to address all of them. The authors recommend ways to better NAFTA's environmental dimension in all three countries, and improve living conditions where economic growth is greatest--at the US-Mexican border. It makes more sense to tackle the shortcomings than to lament NAFTA and the economic growth it promotes.

International agreements and environmental regulations are important constraints in today's business context.
