| Summary |
There are investment aspects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which considerably enhance the opportunities for foreign investment among the signatories, while at the same time improving the security of such investment. NAFTA reflects the Parties' recognition that liberalization of host country investment restrictions is as important as the elimination of trade barriers. With the assistance of such high caliber contributors as Roberto Mayorga, Kent S. Foster, Preston Brown, and Dr. Jorge Witker, the book analyses both the advantages and disadvantages of this policy upon the investment climate within the countries of the various signatories |
