In December 1994 at the Summit of the Americas, heads of state from 34 countries throughout the hemisphere agreed to construct the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), a trading bloc stretching from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, by the year 2005 as part of a larger Integration of the Americas. But could these new trade rules promote, instead of prevent, sustainable development in the Americas? If so, how? This book examines global and subregional trade agreements and reviews trade, environment and social regimes in the Americas. By applying IISD's Winnipeg Principles on trade and sustainable development, this summary describes how trade rules can support sustainability and makes recommendations for those involved in the FTAA debates.
