Description

That is an up to date edition of the most influential and widely read analysis of the USA trade policymaking system. In the third edition of this American Political Science Association’s Gladys Kammerer award-winner for the most efficient book on US national policy, Destler extends his original analysis to assess the politics of the extraordinarily contentious debates over NAFTA and the Uruguay Round. He explains how free traders overcame the opposing forces represented by H. Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader to safe congressional approval for the two most essential US trade agreements in the postwar period. The liberal trade regime survived these contemporary challenges, but Destler on the other hand argues that there’s a need for reform of the policymaking system in the 1990s to advance US-led free trade negotiations in the Western Hemisphere and the Asia Pacific in addition to future rounds of global liberalization. Published jointly with the Twentieth Century Fund.
