Il volume, pensato come strumento di formazione, approfondimento e riflessione, affronta le maggiori tematiche relative all'istituzione di aree di libero scambio e delle conseguenze che queste comportano quando vengono create senza prendere in considerazione tutti gli interessi in gioco e senza riflettere sulle diverse situazioni dei paesi che ne entrano a far parte.
