NAFTA and the Campesinos: The Impact of NAFTA on Small-Scale Agricultural Producers in Mexico and the Prospects for Change

摘要

Updating the trends of Mexico's agriculture as NAFTA is approximating complete trade liberalisation (2008) is a welcome subject for scholars looking at the economic and social issues of the region. The collection of articles presented in this book gives brief insights on the impact of NAFTA from different angles as it draws on case studies from a diversity of regions and crops, focusing on peasant and small-scale producers. The book thus revisits the question brought up at the start of the NAFTA debate: who are the losers and winners of this trade agreement?
