Not Just Neighbors:The Remarkable Economic Relationships in North America

Edited by Raymond Robertson

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This book offers the most comprehensive account to date of how trade, migration, and labor markets have bound the United States and Mexico into one of the world's most deeply integrated economies.
