This timely and thought-provoking work analyses the conduct of Mexico’s
international trade litigation from 1986 to 2007. The book provides a concrete
perspective on how Mexico has been using the legal procedures available to
adjudicate its international trade rights, giving the reader a first-hand
experience on international trade litigation.
When litigating trade disputes, Mexico must work within a specific regulatory
framework that is both multilateral (World Trade Organization (WTO)) and
bilateral (Preferential Trade Agreements such as the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA)). Its involvement is constrained domestically by its
administrative capacity, which in turn imposes a need to prioritize, in the
light of political economy, which disputes to pursue and how far.
In addition:
;
It exhaustively examines all cases providing a well-reasoned explanation of
Mexico’s conduct and achievements (inputs and outputs).
It assesses the value of a favourable Panel/Appellate Body report (findings
won) in light of implementation, based on Mexico’s data.
It presents observations on the increasing or decreasing initial bargaining
power through the utilization of legal remedies.
It touches on the regional and multilateral interaction of substantive law,
procedural law and legal remedies.
After 1986, Mexico liberalized its economy quickly and massively. Trade
bloomed and so did disputes. How to handle such disputes became a key element.
Huerta-Goldman achieves a unique and groundbreaking analysis of Mexico’s trade
litigation, including from the perspective of the administrative organization
and capacities, the bargaining power, and the realities of the underlying
political economy. His methodology should be used for other jurisdictions.
This book is certainly an outstanding and valuable contribution to the legal,
political and economic literature of dispute settlement.

This volume by Huerta-Goldman fills a vacuum in the field of
country-by-country investigation into the use of international trade
litigation. Mexico, as a frequent user of DS mechanisms, has found itself
arguing or defending substantially the same case, or related cases, in
different fora. Thus Mexico is an excellent example of how a country can sort
out, and make the best use of, the ever growing multiplicity of DS mechanisms.
This work makes a valuable contribution to the evaluation of the functioning
of trade DS mechanisms in various contexts – global, regional and bilateral –
and under different sets of procedural rules.

In his book, Huerta-Goldman has given us a thorough and scholarly examination
of Mexico’s litigation experience under WTO and NAFTA. It is a highly useful
contribution to the on-going discussion of how to strengthen these rules-based
dispute mechanism models in order to improve the international trading system.
