A key objective of Camino Aztlán is to promote ethical and sustainable commercial activity between the United States and its southern neighbors, particularly Mexico and Central America. This sub-page discusses current issues in cross-border trade, including the state of the Fair Trade movement and how this movement fits within today’s volatile political and legal environment that is often hostile towards any form of globalization. Upcoming articles will discuss issues like the following:
The use of new hybrid corporate models such as the Benefit Corporation or the Low Profit Limited Liability Company (“L3C”), and how these entities can facilitate sustainable cross-border development.
How to implement and operate sustainable ventures in a changing international legal framework, most notably the new North American trade agreement known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”).
Through upcoming articles and guides, Camino Aztlán hopes to serve as a platform for educating and connecting like-minded people interested in cross-border ventures, including Latin American producers and collectives, migrant associations, impact investors, and entrepreneurs.
