| Sumario: | The central aim of this article is to study the economic and social processes and the existing connections among regionalism, productive restructuring, and labor force mobility across borders. The article is divided into three parts. In the first section, we discuss the linkage between capitalist accumulation, economic cycles, and labor force mobility. In the second, we analyze theNorth America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the migratory flux from Mexico to the United States. Finally, we outline a critical view of how the interests of big capital prevail over worker interests, considering aspects such as labor mobility and the civil, political, social and economic rights of workers. |
