Abstract

In this article, which the author co-wrote several years ago with Professor Kenneth Abbott at the Northwestern University School of Law, we recommended that an FTAA be formed not on the traditional regional trade agreement principles of exclusion and preferential treatment, but rather on a newer policy of open regionalism. Given the growing importance of regionalism in the years since this article was written, and the lack of progress toward an FTAA, it remains highly pertinent today, both as an historical record and as a discussion of the challenges and possibilities presented by regionalism in the western hemisphere.
