From NAFTA to USMCA: New visions on regionalism and implications for Mexico's Asia trade
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or USMCA has been conceived as an updated version and replacement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), in place for almost 25 years. Concerned by the urgency to continue attracting foreign direct investment and avoid a further depreciation of its currency, the Mexican government agreed to a series of demands made by the United States and Canada, hence opening the door for a reconfiguration of regional economic integration between the three countries. This paper presents the main considerations behind the new trade agreement and how Mexico plays an important piece in the reconfiguration of regional economic integration in North America, and how the US plans to modify the nature of its trade interactions with the Asia Pacific could have a deep impact on Mexico's trade and investment links with this part of the world.

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.
