The North American Free Trade Agreement (nafta) went into effect on January 1, 1994, amid fears of job loss in the United States and cries of revolution in the south of Mexico. Yet, in a single decade, the three nations of North America have built a market larger than, and almost as integrated as, the 15-nation European Union. Trade and in- vestment have nearly tripled, and the United States, Mexico, and Canada have experienced an unprecedented degree of social and eco- nomic integration. For the first time, “North America” is more than just a geographical expression.
