Abstract

The article considers the role of civil society in the future of governance in North America. Opposition to the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico brings to fore the need to recognize civil society. Currently, civil society actors from these three countries demand for the inclusion of equity, sustainable development, and democracy in any schemes that seek to deepen governance in North America. Civil society can be valuable contributors to governance-building in North America.
