Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

An economic integration arrangement between nations cannot exist without the creation of the necessary institutions.
