Regional trade integration in the Americas during the 1990s: reflections of some trends and their implication for the multilateral trade system

This article presents an analytical overview of the process of regional trade integration in the Americas during the 1990s. By focusing on some particular trends inferred from the process as a whole, the article argues that regional trade agreements can fulfill economic, political, and legal objectives that are extremely unlikely to be attainable by the multilateral trading system alone. Thus, it is suggested that the experience of regionalism in the Americas during the last decade illustrates how regionalism can complement multilateralism in order to foster trade liberalization.
