This work! based on a conference sponsored by the Inter-American Development Bank and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies! examines how this free trade process is surging ahead! while at the same time taking on a broader set of issues including institutional reform! transparency! the environment! labor! and social cohesion.
