This is a Spanish version. The case describes the economic development of Mexico after joining the North American Free Trade Area. While the general discussion, often, focus on the issue, whether a trade block should be among equals or not, the case demonstrates in how far Mexico benefits from such an agreement, even if the country is economically much weaker than its big neighbour. Trade liberalisation between the three NAFTA-members on the one hand and remaining external restrictions to third countries generate a new competitive advantage to Mexico. Besides general economic parameters, a special view is given on the economic evolution of Mexican sectors. Due to its social importance, the case provides a deeper insight into the agricultural sector.
