From the Paper:

"Michael Dreiling in his book Solidarity and Contention - The Politics of Security and Sustainability in the NAFTA Conflict examines issues related to the increasingly rapid pace of globalization, with the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) being the specific issue he uses as the center of his discussion. The battle over NAFTA was waged first in the normal political arena as various interest sought to express their views on whether such an agreement would work, would be valuable, would achieve the goals set for it, and whether it would help or hurt the U.S. economy. After it was adopted, the battle expanded, with more and more people concerned about not only about potential damage to U.S. interests but to the economies of other countries party to it."
