Series: Themes in Business and Society

This book explores key issues affecting the post-NAFTA development and trajectory of North America's most important economic sector, the automotive industry.

The auto sector is North America's most iconic of industries. Since the North American Free Trade Agreement came into existence in 1994, the sector has undergone tremendous change: escalating concerns around climate change, advances in electric and automated vehicles, deindustrialisation/reindustrialisation, and the rise of low-cost locations as hubs for manufacturing.

The North American Auto Industry since NAFTA examines the issues that have preoccupied the development of policy associated with the manufacture of automobiles in North America. The collection addresses the punctuations that have afflicted the industry since NAFTA's implementation as well as the slower, incremental evolutions that have also occurred. Several aspects of automobility and the industry are explored, including but not limited to the Canadian, American, and Mexican automotive sectors and their evolution and interaction under evolving trade regimes. The book analyses issues surrounding labour, technology, trade policy, regional development, the environment, and broader societal impacts of the automobile. It also draws on the expertise of a wide cross-section of industry experts and scholars to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the automotive industry and its central role in North America's economic, business, and political landscape.

Reviews for The North American Auto Industry since NAFTA

""The automotive industry is the backbone of the North American economy, yet it rarely receives serious academic treatment. This book asks and answers essential questions about the industry's impact on labour, the environment, supply chains, investment patterns, trade policy, and technological innovation. Anyone who wants to understand the global economy of the twenty-first century and its prospects should start with this book.""--Christopher Sands, Director of the Canada Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Hopkins Center for Canadian Studies, Johns Hopkins University ""This book is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of recent history of the North American auto industry. Its arguments and data will appeal to policy-makers and academics alike. I expect it to be a key reference as the USMCA treaty comes up for review in 2026.""--Susan Helper, Frank Tracy Carlton Professor of Economics at the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University
