The Impact of Trade Embargoes : An 8 page paper. Often
used by the United States in response to either human rights
or military issues intervention, economic sanctions have
been thought to be effective and productive. Woodrow
Wilson believed that economic sanctions were an
“economic, peaceful, silent, deadly enemy.” That position
is being rethought by many, however, particularly in the
area of trade embargoes. Examined here are the embargoes
against the former Soviet Union for the invasion of
Afghanistan, Cuba and Iraq, with the lesson that such
embargoes are only effective when the leaders are
concerned with the welfare of their people. Cuba may be
coming around; Iraq is still chanting “death to America.”

NAFTA : 30 pages in length. The North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was established as a means by
which Canada, Mexico and the United States could
effectively bolster their economies, their work forces and
their political status. In more finite terms, it was formed to
promote a climate of fair marketing, improve investment
opportunities, protect industrial and intellectual property
rights, as well as establish procedures for the resolution of
disputes. Going in, there were a number of concerns voiced
by those who did not believe the Agreement would hold to
its promises even before it was implemented; others had full
confidence in its ability to benefit all countries involved.
Several years have passed since the treaty was executed.
How has it stood the test of time? Is there a future for it and
other similar agreements that are waiting in the wings?
Industry analysts are divided as to whether or not NAFTA
has truly lived up to what President Clinton proposed it
would be, with some saying the job market did, indeed,
profit from its existence, and others contending that there are
more people out of work or earning lower wages than ever
before. The writer discusses several key points of NAFTA.

Economic Impact Of NAFTA In the United States :
10 pages in length. The buildup and anticipation that the
proposed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
conjured made it appear as though it would be the saving
grace for a drooping United States economy. However,
enough time has gone by since the Agreement's
implementation to determine that, for the most part, NAFTA
has not produced the expected economic impact it was
supposed to stimulate. Hit particularly hard has been the
labor industry, inasmuch as many American companies have
opted to move their manufacturing plants to Mexico in order
to take full advantage of cheaper operating costs; as a result,
American workers are being kept from seeking better
wages, since the company can decide at any moment to
move the plant south of the border for significantly less
money. The writer discusses NAFTA's impact upon the
United States economy. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

International Policy Objectives : A 5 page essay answering
the question of types and numbers of policy instruments
necessary to attain the most advantageous position for the
US economy, both domestically and internationally. Using
Singapore as an example of a blend of a strong central
government yet an economy based on totally free
entrepreneurism, the paper concludes that (1) the
government needs to allow businesses to operate as
profitably as possible, with a tax structure that encourages
investment, and (2) international trade barriers should be
reduced to the lowest level possible. No bibliography.
