SUMMARY:&quot\;We want to export goods\, not people&quot\;:  The Political
  Economy of Trade Liberalisation and Labour Migration  - Dr Dan Kim

DESCRIPTION:Trade liberalization efforts through regional trade agreements
  have been politically bolstered by the promise of curbing immigration pre
 ssures.  The most recent and explicit example of this is the North America
 n Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)\, where the Mexican President promised: “
 Migration to the United States [from Mexico] will be dramatically reduced 
 with more trade between U.S.\, Mexico\, and Canada…  We want to export g
 oods\, not people…”  This paper analyses the evidence of the economic 
 assertion that increased trade decreases immigration pressures\, particula
 rly in the context of the post-NAFTA era.  I find that NAFTA has not lived
  up to its promise of decreasing migratory pressures.  I explore the reaso
 ns for this outcome and offer implications for the political economy of tr
 ade liberalisation and labour migration.
