Resumen:
The lack of monitoring and evaluation of the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) until 2017 has become a significant dilemma for the
Mexican Executive and its process of renegotiation. The analysis begins
with the presentation of the ``demands'' of the Trump Administration
to renegotiate the Agreement and estimates of the tariff effects - in
Mexico and the United States-of a cancellation of NAFTA, emphasizing the
footwear value-added chain. In general, the effects of a cancellation of
NAFTA are not significant from a tariff perspective, although a group of
value-added chains and items will indeed have an impact on their
activities in the region. Starting from relative high levels of
integration in the North American region, since the beginning of the
21st century there is an increasing disintegration; the footwear
value-added chain is an example of this process. The document presents a
group of proposals - and beyond the current renegotiation process-in
order to reflect the massive challenges for the productive Mexican
sector in the context of NAFTA, from a local, national and regional
perspectives.
