        With NAFTA, U.S. Finally Creates a New World Order 7/18/1993 Henry Kissinger Quote in an LA times article that is screen shotted in my Bookmarks under cfr book. Kissinger refers to NAFTA as "the most creative step toward a new world order taken by any group of countries since the end of the Cold War." Later he says "The revolution sweeping the Western Hemisphere points to an international order based on cooperation. It is this revolution that is at stake in the ratification of NAFTA. What congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system." :check:

        North American Free Trade-M. Delal Baer 1991 "The pragmatism of socialists like
        France's Francois Mitterrand and Spain's Felipe Gonzalez also
        validated Mexican policy. Political opponents are thus finding
        it hard to capitalize on the free-trade initiative, which polls
        show to be popular. Indeed one survey found that 59 percent
        of Mexicans would support the formation of a single nation
        with the United States, if that signified a better quality of life,
        suggesting basic attitudinal changes in Mexican nationalism
        and anti-Americanism.^ Support for NAFTA has wooed Mexico's
        business and middle classes back to the fold of the PRI and
        permitted Salinas to straddle the center." :check:
        
        "The future will not be without problems. Some disagreement
        may surface between those who advocate more trilateral regulation and those who prefer more decentralization and
        sovereignty. These tendencies are already incipient. The left
        in all three countries seems more ready to mimimize assertion
        of sovereignty, a trend embodied in ideas such as a trilateral
        social charter and uniform health, safety and environmental
        regulations."
        
        "The creation of trinational dispute-resolution mechanisms
        and rule-making bodies on border and environmental
        issues may also be embryonic forms of more comprehensive
        structures. After all, international organizations and agreements
        like GATT and NAFTA by definition mimimize assertions of sovereignty
        in favor of a joint rule-making authority." :check:
        
        "The three nations of North America,
        in more modest fashion, have also arrived at a defining
        moment. They may want to create a wiseman's North American
        commission to operate in the post-ratification period. One
        objective would be to report on the impact of the agreement
        during implementation, providing sober judgments that temper
        politicized charges and countercharges. The commission
        might also adopt a forward-looking agenda on themes such as
        North American competitiveness, links between scientific institutions,
        borderland integration, the continental ecological
        system and educational and cultural exchanges. The historic
        import of NAFTA calls for marshaling creative resources as
        never before to consider the future of North America." :check:

They [WTO and NAFTA] entrench certain inviolate principles or norms that are above the reach of any national legislature to alter; set limits on the behavior of governments; define rights of citizenship; establish a judicial system to interpret its own texts in the case of conflicts; and provide for enforcement of the court's decisions."

        Page 144- “The principal subterranean anxiety of Americans regarding their neighbor to the south is immigration (see next chapter), and yet public opinion surveys also show that Americans, and also Canadians and Mexicans, are prepared to accept a North American Union, provided “cultural identity” is not threatened.” :check:
        
        The main premise of his book is that NAFTA should be transformed into a North American Union. Page 97-98- A new preamble for NAFTA should include (only the important ones are listed)
        -A free market, but not really. They want intense regulations to make sure there are no disparities between the countries.
        -wider North American Community that faces common problems together
        
        “a commitment to fostering the free, unfettered movement of goods, services capital, and eventually people, but also to assuring public security and the cooperative, coordinated enforcement of laws by officials of the three governments.”

        Page 100- “The first such institution to be established should be a North American Commission (NAC). It should be led by 15 distinguished individuals, 5 of whom would be appointed by each of the leaders of the three countries, for a fixed term. Together, they would select a schair, who would alternate, say, every 2 years. It should be staffed by a mix of civil servants and indepent professionals designed by the three countries. Its mandate would be to deelop a plan for the integration and development of North America.” :check:
        
        Page 100- “The NAC should have two offices to help prepare sectoral and continental proposals: an Office of North American Statistics to collect data from the three governments and research organizations, and a North American Planning Office to analyze the data. Working with appropriate ministries in the three governments as well as with universities and research centers, the NAC should draft papers on ways to improve cooperation and facilitate integration. It should also consider an explicit “regional policy” to reduce disparities within North America.” :check:

      - Building a North American Community Establish a common security perimeter by 2010. The governments
        of Canada, Mexico, and the United States should articulate
        as their long-term goal a common security perimeter for North
        America. In particular, the three governments should strive toward
        a situation in which a terrorist trying to penetrate our borders will
        have an equally hard time doing so, no matter which country he
        elects toenter first.Webelieve that thesemeasures should beextended
        to include a commitment to common approaches toward international
        negotiations on the global movement of people, cargo, and
        vessels. Like free trade a decade ago, a common security perimeter
        forNorthAmerica is anambitious but achievablegoal that will require
        specific policy, statutory, and procedural changes in all three nations. :check:
        
        Page 10 Security cooperation among the three countries should also extend to
        cooperation on counterterrorism and law enforcement, which would
        include the establishment of a trinational threat intelligence center, the
        development of trinational ballistics and explosives registration, and
        joint training for law enforcement officials. :check:
        
        Expand NORAD into a multiservice Defense Command.
        The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)
        has for decades been the primary vehicle for expression of the unique
        defense alliance between Canada and the United States. As recommended
        in a report of the Canadian-U.S. Joint Planning Group,
        NORAD should evolve into amultiservice Defense Command that
        would expand the principle of Canadian-U.S. joint command to
        landandnaval aswell as air forcesengaged in defending the approaches
        toNorth America. In addition, Canada and the United States should
        reinforce other bilateral defense institutions, including the Permanent
        Joint Board on Defense and Joint PlanningGroup, and inviteMexico
        to send observers.
        
        Page 18 Make a North American commitment to a cleaner environment.
        Expanding energy production as a driver of a more competitive
        and growing North American economy brings with it a joint
        responsibility for shaping a cleaner environment and reducing pollution.
        For example, Canada has signed the Kyoto Protocol on global
        climate change, which requires significant reductions in emissions
        of greenhouse gases, but that agreement does not cover Mexico,
        and Washington has opted out. A North American energy and
        emissions regime could offer a regional alternative to Kyoto that
        includes all three countries. Such a regime should include a tradable
        voucher system for emissions trading within the region analogous
        to the Clean Development Mechanism. :check:
        
        Page 26 Make a North American standard the default approach to
        new regulation. While pursuing an aggressive effort to eliminate
        existing regulatory differences as quickly as possible, it also is important
        for regulators to consider the North American dimension as they
        draftnewrulesgoing forward.Tothis end,theSecurity andProsperity
        Partnership framework should be used to establish a newmechanism
        to enable greater collaboration and consultation among the three
        countries at all levels of government as new rules are developed and
        adopted. Each jurisdiction would retain the sovereign right to shape
        rules within its borders, but in principle, country-specific regulations
        should only be adopted when no international or North American
        approach already exists, where there are unique national circumstances
        or priorities, or where there is a well-founded lack of trust
        in the regulatory practices of the other partners. The new trinational
        mechanism also should be charged with identifying joint means of
        ensuring consistent enforcement of new rules as they are developed. :red_cross:

        three countries the importance of the North American partnership
        than to have theMexican and American presidents and theCanadian
        prime minister meet at least once a year. :check:

    - - If we accept the regional building blocks ap- proach to global community building, rather than a hasty jump from the many to the one, it is possible to imagine the formation of an additional suprare- gional level (e.g., North and South America, or the United States and the European Union in the form of a revived Atlantic Alliance). In this way, the road toward a Global Nation might be significantly eased. 317 :check:
