Professor Chander Quoted on NAFTA in Washington Post

Professor Anupam Chander is quoted in a Washington Post article on the efforts to rewrite the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Although supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders agree with the Trump administration’s contention that NAFTA should be renegotiated, there is little common ground with Republicans with regard to how NAFTA should be reformed, Chander said.

“In many instances, it’s not clear what the critics of NAFTA wanted other than the ending of NAFTA — so it’s hard to rally the sides to a positive agenda for, ‘Here is what new NAFTA 2.0 should look like,” said Chander. “It’s hard for the Trump administration to actually placate the Sanders folks.”

Professor Chander, Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Law at UC Davis School of Law, is a leading scholar of technology and law. He is the author of The Electronic Silk Road: How the Web Binds the World in Commerce, published in 2013 by Yale University Press.
