Rising terrorist activity has led the Maghreb countries Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania, and Libya to focus on antiterrorism efforts, with the unintentional effect of putting economic reforms on the sidelines. Maghreb countries have tightened border restrictions on the flow of people and goods, reducing commerce and depressing economic activity. In fact, the Maghreb has one of the lowest rates of intraregional trade in the world. Growth has been modest, and other factors such as rigid economic structures, low productivity, and modest investment levels continue to hinder progress. Do th

NAFTA entered into force in 1994 after a bitter Congressional debate. But NAFTA in operation has proved no less controversial than NAFTA before ratification, for both supporters and opponents of trade liberalization have cited experience with the agreement to justify their positions. To provide a factual basis for this ongoing debate, the authors evaluate NAFTA’s performance over the first seven years, comparing actual experience with both the objectives of the agreement’s supporters and the charges of its critics. They then examine future challenges and opportunities in the trade and inve

This is a revised edition of the classic book on this subject. It chronicles and examines 170 cases of economic sanctions imposed since World War I. Fifty of these cases were launched in the 1990s and are new to this edition. Special attention is paid to new developments arising from the end of the Cold War and the increasing globalization of the world economy. Analyzing a range of economic and political factors that can influence the success of a sanctions episode, the authors distill a set of commandments to guide policymakers in the effective use of sanctions. This study will be published i

Economic sanctions continue to play an important role in the response to terrorism, nuclear proliferation, military conflicts, and other foreign policy crises. But poor design and implementation of sanctions policies often mean they fall short of their desired effects. This landmark study, first published in 1985, delves into the rich experience of sanctions in the 20th century to harvest lessons on how to use sanctions more effectively. This volume - now conveniently available in a paperback format - is the third and expanded edition of this widely cited study. The authors’ unique datab

Morocco continues to struggle with unemployment, faltering levels of competitiveness, and a lack of diversity in its economy. And, despite efforts to improve trade both at the border and within the country itself, shortcomings of the US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (FTA) weaken its intended economic results. What missteps have been made and how should they be renegotiated in the future? Where has the implementation failed and what additional steps should the US and European Union take in order to boost Moroccan industries? Morocco-US Free Trade Agreement: An Assessment makes recommendations to
