Abstract

This article is a research product that analyses the process of elaboration and ratification of NAFTA and CAFTA-DR. The objective is to know what is the influence that all this process around these Treaties has had on democracy and the sovereignty of the countries that are part of them, according to the Rodrik Trilemma. This analysis is complemented by studying the position and role that the United States exercises over the rest of the States as a hegemonic power.
