Resumen
Siendo que el litigio casi nunca ocurre en negocios relacionados con
el mercado transntacional entre los Estados Unidos y la region norte de
Mxico, aparentemente aparece que el comercio entre estas dos regiones
al momento estd iendo trabajado a su mdximo. Sin embargo, diferencias
de actualidad en las leyes de comercio de los Estados Unidos y Mxico
estdn daftando la confianza de los comerciantes transnacionales, y esto
impide el crecimiento del comercio entre ambas regiones. Aste estudio
discute la necesidad de mejorar el comercio transnacional por medio de
identificaci6n y resoluci6n de estas fuentes de incertidumbre; por medio
de adelantar la consistencia entre las formalidades o las regulaciones de
comercio entre lay dos regiones, y por el aumento del didlogo entre los
comerciantes y abogados de las dos regiones para mejorar lo cooperacirn

THE STATUS QUO
Sonora and Sinaloa export to the United States produce, fish,
assembled or semi-assembled hard goods, and handicrafts. Arizona, in
turn, exports to Sonora and Sinaloa industrial, agricultural, and mining
machinery; replacement parts; chemical products; and, increasingly,
computer hardware and software. In addition, Arizona serves as an
exit point for a considerable amount of North American land and air
tourism to northwest Mexico.
Despite an annual volume of transnational trade estimated in the
hundreds of millions of dollars, very little transnational litigation has
occurred in either region. When questioned informally, leading lawyers
in Arizona, Sonora, and Sinaloa revealed familiarity with no more than
a handful of cases in each region. This may well be a tribute to the
civility and spirit of cooperation of traders on both sides of the border.
It is not, however, the result of harmonic or consistent legal institutions.
Take, for example, any of the documents involved in most shipments
across the respective borders. Does a Mexican truckers' bill of lading
