In this paper a comparative analysis is made of the behavior of trade and FDI on two economic regions constituted by: NAFTA (Mexico, USA and Canada), and that formed by the countries of Northeast Asia (China, Japan and Korea). This analysis is completed to determine the evolution of trade and FDI in the context of two different dynamics of commerce. Where, on the one hand there is a dualistic economic integration process constituted in jure by signing NAFTA, and on the other, an economic pole constituted de facto by three major economic countries in the Asian region.

This paper is based on an Anglo-French comparative study whose objective has been to link the normally separated fields of study, social mobility and the family. After presenting some crucial findings, the author rises the question that why family approach to the study of social mobility has been so slow taken by sociologists. A political reason linked to some stereotypes and a predominant “male” vision of society underlies this. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
