| Abstract: | The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is the first international trade agreement to incorporate environmental regulations. It does this in several provisions within the core NAFTA text but, above all, through the side agreement establishing the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC). The Institutional fabric of NAFTA, and the CEC in particular, is of great interest to researchers since it provides an on-going laboratory to examine propositions from the newly emerging field of trade and the environment. The work of the CEC is of great relevance for Canadian business as the CEC is a legally and institutionally powerfull body charged with the review and harmonization of environmental regulations in North America. |
