The process of world trade liberalization, the fruit of both political and economic changes, has encouraged trade between countries. International trade is used as a source of economic growth for developing countries. To promote commercial trade, new trade and economic integration agreements are established or improved; however, the impact of these agreements has distinct repercussions in different parts of the world. In light of the free trade agreement, for example, aspects which may be beneficial for Mexico are not necessarily positive for the small economies of the Caribbean that depend on the U.S. market for their exports. The consideration of the particularities of each country—and of their relationship with their environment—will help to broaden the possibility that all countries can benefit from free trade, if it is in the interest of promoting the economic and social well-being of all. ; El proceso de liberalización del comercio mundial, fruto de cambios políticos y económicos, ha fomentado el intercambio comercial entre los países. El comercio internacional se utiliza como una fuente de crecimiento económico por los países en vías de desarrollo. Para fomentar el intercambio comercial, se revigorizan y establecen nuevos acuerdos comerciales y de integración económica. Pero, el impacto de estos acuerdos repercute de manera distinta en diferentes partes del mundo. Ante el Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC), por ejemplo, los aspectos que pueden resultar beneficiosos para México no son necesariamente positivos para las pequeñas economías del Caribe que dependen del mercado de Estados Unidos para sus exportaciones. La consideración de las particularidades de cada país -y de la relación de las mismas con su entorno- ayudará a que se amplíe la posibilidad de que todos los países puedan beneficiarse del libre comercio, si es que se interesa fomentar el bienestar económico y social de todos ellos.

Argues that the changing nature of international relations changes the nature of sovereignty & how nations seek to protect their interests. When nations become intertwined in the web of transnational movements of capital, labor, goods, & technology, they give up aspects of their sovereignty, & are no longer in complete control of their economic destiny. This is true, however, for all countries in the web, & must be so in order to benefit from the new relations. This international involvement is achieved through treaties or pacts like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It is argued that, with Mexico's entrance into the world of free trade, new safeguards are needed to minimize the impact on Mexico's internal political institutions & relations. 20 References. V.

This article demonstrates that there are three distinct divisions in terms of individualism throughout the whole of North America. In the first division, the national level, there are two distinct groups; Canada & the US are more individualistic countries, while Mexico is less so. There are three groups in the second division -- the level of national cultures -- noted here in ascending order of individualism: Mexico, French-speaking Quebec, & English-speaking Canada & the US together. The third division encompasses the global level of cultures & indicates two groups: Anglo-Saxons (English-speaking Canadians & US citizens) & Latins (Mexicans & Quebeckers). The database analyzed for this research is the subsample for North America of the World Values survey, 1982-1983, analyzed combining binary logic, statistics applied to cross-tabulation tables, the theory of combinations, & multiple logistic regression. 4 Figures, 23 References.
