Abstract:

The recently negotiated bilateral investment treaty with Uruguay would strengthen investment and commerce between the United States and this friendly South American nation of 3.4 million people and also could help to advance economic freedom in other parts of the continent at a time when some countries (e.g., Venezuela and Bolivia) have adopted closed statist economies.
