Abstract
Mexico is the world’s seventh largest trader and by far the most important in Latin America. It participates actively in multilateral trade negotiations, and has been one of the most dynamic participants in regional trade agreements. Currently, more than seventy percent of the country’s GDP derives from trade.1
Dr. Ortiz Mena L.N. would like to acknowledge Luis Bravo Aguilera, Fernando de Mateo, and Dionisio Meade for sharing their experiences regarding Mexico’s accession to GATT. He has attempted to represent their views in a faithful fashion, and any misrepresentations thereof are his exclusive responsibility. He would also like to thank Esperanza Duran for her extremely close reading of the text and detailed comments. Eduardo Ramos and Ismael Ortiz patiently endured endless requests for information from the author. Alfonso Martinez provided valuable research assistance.
