The North American Free Trade Agreement:NAFTA eight year later, and the neoliberal political economy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis mainly presents in a “broad sense”, the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement in each of the member states. As I recapitulated the stages of the Free Trade Agreement in 1988, between the United States and Canada and later on, the inclusion of Mexico in 1994. Apart of the consequences of the NAFTA. I will also emphasize some of the results of the neoliberal political economy and the structural adjustment that has taken place since the late 1980’s in each member state. It is also important to observe the phenomenon of NAFTA as a consequence of the end of the cold war era, as I will discuss in the first chapter. NAFTA seems to be a reaction of the new regional blocs in order to compete in the international market, and at the same time to count with its “own protection path” against this international competition, in which the biggest and strongest market economies are the winners. As I will mentioned in chapter 3. It is time to rethink the Free trade, where is it leading? who are the real winners? what can we do to have a fair trade? what is the mechanism to protect our own markets? and what happens to the welfare states? The analysis in this paper will be based on the specific data from different studies groups of each member state. The impact of NAFTA in labor, agriculture, and the development of the trade since it started until now. One of the most important aspects of this thesis is to called attention to the international community as observers and why not, as an activist, and to present the outcome of this neoliberal economy, and the unfair Free trade. As a political scientist, I have the responsibility to warn those countries that “think” that the key to their development is a Free trade and a neoliberal economy. In this case, is not so, we have to be careful and react against to some of the accords of the treaty, if we want to have a fairly trade.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
