¶ … trade in Mexico. The writer explores the nation's dependency on the U.S. And presents plans to reduce that dependency and increase other options. There were five sources used to complete this paper.
As the world continues to globalize many of the previous boundaries that were experienced have been removed. This means advancements in technology, communication, manufacturing and other areas. Mexico is frequently accused of being too dependent on the United States. With the globalizing moves forward there have been many new horizons for the country of Mexico to explore regarding trade. Reducing its dependence on the United States and expanding its interdependence with other nations will provide Mexico with bargaining power when it comes to its dealings with the states in the future.
Within the last decade the trade abilities and clout in Mexico has improved significantly. Whereas Mexico used to be almost exclusively dependent on the U.S., the more recent years and worldwide globalization have changed it all for the better (Giant, 2000). Mexico recently enjoyed the honor of being named as a main trade power in the world. "The World Trade Organization officially labeled Mexico as a one of the main trade powers in the world, with international trade growth of 20% over the last two years (Giant, 2000)."
While it was a compliment to the improved methods that the nation uses for trade it was still dependent on the fact that 90% of its export business is aimed at...
For Mexico to maintain its momentum and gain ground in the future it will be essential to develop trade relations with nations outside of the U.S.(Giant, 2000).
There are several reasons for Mexico to improve and step up its trade relations with countries besides the United States. One of the strongest reasons has to do with the dependency on one nation. If Mexico does not move to spread its export and import trade equally among several large nations, while also building constant relations with smaller nations as well it will never build its ability to bargain (Free, 1999). As long as the nation is chiefly dependent on the U.S. The U.S. has power over tariffs, import and export fees and other things. Once Mexico begins to establish itself as a power with a diversified base of business it will have a stronger bargaining table to work with.
One of the most promising future endeavors that Mexico has been developing over the last few years has been its trade relationship with Canada (Canada, 1995). "Free trade was broadened considerably by the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), which came into effect in 1989. The CFTA eliminated many trade barriers and provided for consultative management of trade disputes. CFTA gains were broadened by the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which added new areas of economic activity - additional service sectors and investment - and a new country - Mexico (Canada, 1995)."

The United States is the #1 export partner for Bangladesh, representing 13.9% of Bangladesh's exports. However, the US is not one of the countries from which Bangladesh primarily imports (CIA World Factbook, 2017).

Bangladesh is thus the
Economics One of the current economic issues in America is the trade deficit, which is persistent and in most years growing. The U.S. had a slight trade surplus in the early 1980s, but since then has had a trade deficit. The deficit was growing through the mid-2000s and while it is still quite large, the straight downward trend in the trade deficit has flatlined (Trading Economics, 2014). The U.S. still has

Trade Between China and the United States This paper discusses some theories about international trade, and why countries trade with one another. The first trade theory that warrants discussion is specialization, something that Adam Smith touched on. He used the analogy of specific professional to illustrate this theory -- nations do what they are best at. A quick look at the relationship between the U.S. And China illustrates this quite well.
