Abstract

In this paper we will analyze and compare the potential effects the integration and full implementation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), Area de Libre Comercio de las Americas (ALCA), will have on income distribution and domestic environmental policy in the United States and Argentina. In conducting this analysis we will utilize studies done on the impact the full implementation of NAFTA has had on such policies in Canada, Mexico and the United States. In the interest of clarity and depth of research, we will pick specific aspects of these themes (environmental policy and income distribution) and develop predictions of the effects of them, as a result of the FTAA, on various communities in Argentina and the United States. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article reports that the latest global meeting on climate change wrapped up in Argentina this week, having made only modest steps towards cutting future greenhouse-gas emissions. Delegates from many nations said that the United States and its allies, such as Saudi Arabia, thwarted progress at the tenth meeting of the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. During the conference, the United States strongly opposed the idea of using any seminars scheduled between now and next November to jump-start discussions about 2012 and beyond. Environmental groups attacked this position as deliberately obstructive. Saudi Arabia also caused dissent at the meeting,by asking for money from the "adaptation fund" to offset the economic losses it will suffer when petroleum exports are reduced.
