First, the presentation begins by answering what the FTAA is, detailing the current situation of the negotiations for the benefit of readers unfamiliar with the agreement. Next, the essay deals with a rapid issue related to the future of protectionism in the agricultural sector, as this is also the most disappointing sector of all in terms of discussions. Subsequently, it tries to establish what the Argentine position should be in the negotiations related to that agreement, which arises from the dilemma about whether or not the country should negotiate with the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). Finally, the presentation makes some recommendations on what Argentina should do, from now on, in the FTAA.
