NAFTA / Belinda Coote 

Public ISBD Titre : NAFTA : Poverty and Free Trade in Mexico Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Belinda Coote, Auteur Editeur : Oxfam UK Année de publication : 1995 Importance : 58 p Note générale : 03.02 COO Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Accords commerciaux Tags : Commerce mondial  Accords de libre-échange  Pauvreté Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : In January 1994 the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into effect, linking Mexico, the United States, and Canada in a pact to increase trade and investment. The agreement is of special significance, because it is the first of its kind to link countries from the 'developed' and 'developing' worlds. For Mexico the NAFTA represents another step down the road of economic liberalisation which its government has been pursuing for more than a decade. For the United States, it is the first stage in its wider policy objective of creating a hemispheric free-trade zone stretching from the Port of Anchorage in the far north to Tierra del Fuego in the extreme south. There is no shortage of candidates for membership, with governments from all over the region queuing up to join. The NAFTA thus has implications for countries far beyond its three initial signatories.

The Emperor’s New Clothes    

Public ISBD Titre : The Emperor’s New Clothes : Why rich countries want a WTO investment agreement Type de document : document électronique Editeur : Oxfam UK Année de publication : April 2003 Collection : Oxfam Briefing Paper num. 46 Importance : 43 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : OMC Tags : OMC  Investissements  UE  Pays en développement  Politique de développement  IDE Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : Despite an overcrowded agenda and the lack of progress on matters crucial to development, rich countries, especially members of the European Union, are pushing for the launch of investment negotiations at the ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organisation in Cancun in September 2003. When properly regulated, foreign investment can contribute to sustainable development. However, the proposed WTO agreement on investment will establish rules that developing countries do not need and cannot afford, enhancing investors’‘rights’ while undermining governments’ capacity to pursue pro-development policies. This is why Oxfam calls on WTO members to reject the launch of investment negotiations in Cancun.
