"NAFTA AND UNITED STATES AGRICULTURE
Introduction
This research examines the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on agricultural industries in the United States. Within the agricultural sector, an emphasis is placed on the meat products industry, and within the meat products industry, an emphasis is placed on the beef industry.
From Perception to Reality
Many Americans tend to think that NAFTA will greatly harm the United States economy. This perception was supported by Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan in 1996 and by third-party candidate Ross Perot in 1992. The gist of this perception is that free trade generally and NAFTA specifically will rob the United States of industrial jobs and destroy global market.."

Abstract
The paper begins by presenting a synopsis of U.S./Mexico relations, focusing on the two major issues of trade and immigration. It then turns to the NAFTA organization, claiming that its main goals were intended to be the bolstering of the Mexican economy by creating more manufacturing jobs south of the border, and the opening up of trade from the US to Mexico. The paper studies the beneficial effect of NAFTA on the U.S., Canada and Mexico; looking, in particular, at U.S. import crops. The paper explores the viewpoint of opponents of NAFTA as well as U.S. public opinion about the agreement. The issue of fluidity of the U.S./ Mexican border is discussed as is the impact of 9/11 on the Americans? feelings about border control. The paper concludes with a discussion on the Mexican image of Bush with and recommendations on what the president can do to enhance U.S. relations with Mexico.
From the Paper
"At present, although the United States and Mexico are embraced in an atmosphere of cooperation that is unprecedented, there are still potential areas of conflict that could chill relations between the two countries if they are not handled with great diplomacy. The tricky part here for President Bush, Mexican President Fox and other leaders is that these issues are more about perception than they are based on reality. The two major issues that come up the most are directly related to one another. These two issues, trade and immigration also touch on other politically sensitive issues which include environmental concerns, worker conditions, economic parity, political freedom, and governmental control."

Abstract
This paper evaluates impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on United States taxation and in particular to international transactions. It looks at how the NAFTA is not really a tax treaty and how taxation is not addressed in the treaty. The signatory nations to the NAFTA renegotiated bilateral tax treaties subsequent to the implementation of the treaty to address taxation issues that were affected by the provisions of the treaty. There is an emphasis on the issues that are related to taxation on the basis of source income and to the amelioration of double taxation.
From the Paper
"The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) observed that globalization, the deregulation of financial markets, and financial innovation have led to major changes in the volume, composition and direction of international capital flows, which places increasing demands on taxation systems. "Taxes are an important consideration in foreign direct investment (FDI) and in cross-border portfolio investment decisions of financial and non-financial corporations and individuals. Tax-driven investment and savings decisions raise concerns about economic efficiency and equity, as well as problems of evasion and avoidance" (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 1999, p. 21)."

"The Impact of NAFTA on Jobs in the United States
This paper will discuss the possible impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement upon employment in the United States. The paper will examine the effect of NAFTA on the number of jobs in the U.S., particularly looking at the charges that it will result in a transfer of jobs from the U.S. to Mexico. According to most independent studies, NAFTA will not result in a large exodus of jobs from the U.S., but will probably result in an increase.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is designed to create an open and common trading zone between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The United States and Canada already have such a zone under the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), which went into effect in 1989. Under NAFTA, all three countrie.."

Abstract
This paper begins by noting the benefits of the NAFTA agreement for industry and the concentration of those benefits in northern and central Mexico. Agricultural exporters in the north (tomatoes, roses, citrus fruits) adjacent to California have also benefited. However, corn and sorghum, the two largest domestic crops and the principle crops in the 'agri-subsistence' south (including Chiapas), have all faltered under freer trade.

Abstract
This paper explains that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was designed to open up the Canadian, U.S. and Mexican borders to free trade; however, NAFTA's ratification and implementation over the last decade has not had uniform success. The author points out that, while many detractors of NAFTA had predicted that the U.S. economy would run at an overall trade deficit with both Canada and Mexico, they failed to observe that overall exports to these two markets would increase greatly as well. The paper also examines the impact of NAFTA on the U.S. job market and concludes that some of the apparatus within NAFTA's regulatory structure, which allows for negotiation and renegotiation, should be utilized to make adjustments for the economic impact NAFTA has had on the U.S. economy especially on job loss. The paper includes tables on job creation and loss and wage changes.

From the Paper
"One industry that has been in decline in the U.S. for many years has been the textile industry. NAFTA's detractors often, supported by the U.S. textile industry itself, belabored this point in arguments against ratification of NAFTA. Cook points out that although NAFTA led to expanded markets for the U.S. textile industry by: 1) the elimination of import duties into Mexico on U.S. produced yarns and cotton, and 2) by mandating that Mexican textile manufacturers actually utilize U.S. yarn and cotton in textiles that are exported to the U.S. and Canadian markets."

From the Paper
" This paper discusses agricultural subsidies in the United States and the European Community, and their effects on trade between the two trading areas. In this respect, the paper provides a brief overview of the European and U.S. agricultural policies and discusses subsidies in both trading areas and their effects on mutual trade.
Countries engage in international trade because it is a mutually beneficial process. At the macro level, national welfare increases. At the micro level, individual exporters earn profits, provide an additional source of employment, and supply convertible foreign exchange which is used to pay for imported goods and services.
In terms of national welfare and economic common sense, imports are the ultimate rationale for trade. By definition, a.."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination, written from a legal standpoint, of the treaty on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper concludes the U. S. is willing to intervene in other international problems, such as oil; and therefore, it should make a public statement to protect the world?s most precious commodity, children, by supporting the treaty.

Why Won't the U.S. Sign?
Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the effects that The North American Free Trade Agreement has had on both the American and Mexican economies as a result of its inception. The author also examines how the U.S. has not abided by all provisions of the NAFTA and the resulting conflict. In doing so, the author addresses the following question: Is allowing Mexican trucks to operate on U.S. highways a safety risk, or an obligation under NAFTA?"
From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement (hereafter referred to as NAFTA) was created to eliminate tariffs and many non-tariff barriers between its three members: the United States, Mexico and Canada. Many tariffs ended when NAFTA took effect on Jan. 1, 1994; others will be phased out over 15 years. Among NAFTA?s principal objectives, the conflict lies in one of the most important objectives of all: to promote conditions of fair competition in the free trade area. The elimination of trade barriers and the unrestricted facilitation of cross-border movement of goods between the territories of the parties is a necessity if this objective is to be achieved. However, trade with Mexico since the inception of NAFTA has seemingly been one-sided."

From the Paper
"Three pens were taken up on December 17, 1992, and three men signed their names marking a historic day in international trade relations. It was that day that President Bush of the United States of America, President Salinas of the United Mexican States, and Prime Minister Mulroney of Canada, each in their respective capitals, signed the North American Free Trade Agreement. Exactly eleven months later, with a vote of 234 to 200 the U.S. House of Representative passed the agreement. The U.S. Senate followed suit with a vote of 60 to 38, just three days later, on November 20, 1993. With President Clinton's signature on December 20, 1993, and effective January 1, 1994, the nearly 400 million people of North America became unified in one integrated marketplace under NAFTA."

From the Paper
"Needless to say, precision agriculture may ultimately be the one thing standing between economic and social devastation and renewed hope for the future in many developing nations. Maohua reports that the Government of the People's Republic began aiming for precision agriculture shortly after Chairman Mao's death, and the results have been favorable. According to Maohua, the government's overarching aims are to develop a Chinese agricultural capacity able to feed 1.6 billion Chinese by the middle of the twenty-first century."

Introduction
Journal Review
Theoretical Discussion of Topic
NAFTA Integration Strategies
Data Analysis
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Koechlin & Larudee (1992) take an interesting approach reviewing the potential effectives of NAFTA prior to its full inception claiming that the overall costs of NAFTA would likely be too high or negative in nature, postulating that employment would be affected most severely particularly within the U.S. Lastly Globerman & Storer (2005) provide the most recent analysis of free trade and price convergence resulting from NAFTA. The authors adopt economic theory suggesting that liberalization of trade will ultimately result in price convergence. The authors also examine the impacts of convergence on returns to capital and wages, suggesting that multiple explanations exist for the seeming divergence that followed the Canada-U.S. Auto Pact in the early 1960s."

Abstract
This paper describes precision agriculture. The author feels that precision agriculture may be the greatest development since the agricultural revolution. The paper then discusses how precision agriculture became possible and the technologies behind it. The author concludes that precision agriculture enables small farmers to survive in a market dominated by huge corporate farms.
From the Paper
"Precision agriculture became possible through the development of Global positioning systems technology and as such technology has increased in accuracy and decreased in cost, as technology tends to do there has been a far-reaching effect. Though the price tag may still seem high the promise of precision agriculture far outweighs the initial output. "Normal civilian GPS receivers have a precision of about 100 yards. A system called differential GPS, which requires a local base station, can provide meter-level accuracy. At these accuracy levels, the technology has found widespread use in the nation's farmland, as part of a movement called precision agriculture. ("Satellite System Can Control")"
