2,156 wordsI. The Origins of NAFTA The underlying rationale not only of NAFTA, but of all free trade agreements is the belief that international trade is a win-win proposition. This belief is based on theories developed by theorists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo, who dismissed the mercantilist view that a country could only gain at the expense of its rival.

1,829 words... Oil/Gas Exports. The impact of the East Asian economic crisis on the direction of non-oil / gas exports is not simple. As one would expect, there has been a sharp decline in exports to slumping economies such as Japan and Korea. In fact, Japan has, until 1998, been the largest single national market for Indonesia's non-oil / gas exports (Table 21). The sharp drop of non-oil / gas exports to Japan (- 23. 1 %) and Korea (- 17. 5 %) contrasts with the relatively good performance in Singapore (1...
