Growing up in my country, Peru, was a formative and great learning experience because as I grew into an adult and participated in the economy, I learned how Peru’s financial system worked as a nation exporting agricultural goods. Peru’s history as a great, fertile farmland country made it a huge partner for potential buyers all around the world; these countries could take advantage of the exotic and plentiful fruit and vegetable products. During the government of Peru’s ex-president Alberto Fujimori, Peru signed the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, in 2006 and became a big exporter of goods. 3 years later, after a great turnout, Peru signed another Free Trade Agreement with China and this came to be a fruitful trade partner

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation is an organization that was established in the year 1989. The cooperation creates tangible effects and benefits for the people within the Asia-Pacific region through their projects. There are currently 21 members (can also be referred to as “economies”) in the organization. In a year, it is estimated that the APEC members propose about 100 projects.

In the case of the South America various efforts has been done but success is still far away. Though bilateral ties between two economies are quite frequent the multilateral cohesive economic integration is still not there. This is mainly because the countries in the region are quite different some are very poor and small while some are the most developing countries of the world such as Brazil which has a huge economy. This will create a problem for the

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim economies. APEC members are described as ‘economies’ because the APEC cooperative process is predominantly concerned with trade and economic issues, with members engaging with one another as economic entities. APEC promotes free trade throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It was established in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence of Asia-Pacific economies and the advent of regional trade blocs in other parts of the world; to fears that highly industrialised Japan (a member of G8) would come to dominate economic activity in the Asia-Pacific region; and to establish new markets for agricultural products and raw materials beyond Europe.(Andrew Elek)

Apart from the free trade alliances with the U.S, Canada is also seen to possess agreements such as TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) and CETA (Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement). These trade agreements have facilitated creating strategic alliances with a number of nations such as Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam and Australia. Additionally strategic alliances have also been facilitated with many European nations19. Apart from reduction in tariff rates, trade of services, intellectual property and investments have become much more regulated and transparent. Expansion into Canada would therefore enable the companies to take advantage of such free trade agreements and develop alliances globally20. Since such trade alliances have strengthened the economy, infrastructural development in the nation has been quite rapid. Ease in business operations has therefore been facilitated. Additionally, access of new foreign markets have also become easy12.

One of the economical trends in the past years is to have open markets and to trade among different states. This can be seen more then ever in the Americas where the majority of states are involved in regional trade blocs and also bilateral trade agreements. Since the 1990’s the Free Trade Area of the America’s (FTAA) as been in negotiation, which involves two main groups Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), which is an economic and political agreement between states such as Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela and associate states Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. Then there is The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). NAFTA is an

Over the course of time, there have been incorporations of multiple agreements all around the world between developing, industrialized countries and third world countries. These agreements are often depicted as a form of advancement and growth for all the parties that are involved. However, this is not always the case, as it is often common that one(some) of the parties becomes affected in a negative manner. While the other party(ies) finds ways to take advantage of the situation and profit from it. One clear example of this is the North American Free Trade Agreement which was implemented between Canada, Mexico and the United States, with the purpose of removing barriers to exchange goods and services to improve the economy. Though, the outcomes of this trade agreement have generally been the opposite of what its primary goal was. As well as the countries mentioned previously, Africa is stumbling upon a similar situation with the European Union. The EU, would like to implement the Economic Partnership Agreement in African countries. Although, the propositions offered by the EU in regards of the (EPA) seem to be valuable for Africa’s progression, it is more likely that the Economic Partnership Agreement will cause negative effects towards Africa’s economic, political and social position.

Globalization has become one of the most influential forces in the twentieth century. International integration of world views, products, trade and ideas has caused a variety of states to blur the lines of their borders and be open to an international perspective. The merger of the Europeans Union, the ASEAN group in the Pacific and NAFTA in North America is reflective of the notion of globalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement was the largest free trade zone in the world at its conception and set an example for the future of liberalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement is coming into it's twentieth anniversary on January 1st, 2014. 1 NAFTA not only sought to enhance the trade of goods and services across
