Go to the library and research the subject of trading blocs and regional economic arrangements. Find a few current articles on trading blocs around the world (these trading blocs could also include new trade alliances or treaties such as NAFTA). Determine from the article who the members are, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the trading bloc, and what is the overall purpose of the trading bloc. You may also use other references to aid you in your discovery process. Report your findings.
