Over the past half century, no prospective trade agreement has captured the attention of the American people in the way NAFTA has and will continue to do. This investigative study seeks to explore the decision-making processes that led up to the agreement and whether or not they were distorted in the process by lobbying. One finding of the Center is that the Mexican government and business interests has waged the largest foreign lobbying campaign in the United States. This study is intended to be the definitive reference work on the multi-year, multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign for the North American Free Trade Agreement.
