Case Studies in Us Trade Negotiation, Volume 1: Making the Rules

Case Studies in US Trade Negotiation Resolving Disputes

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Trade policy has moved from the wings onto center stage. Between 1992 and 2000, U.S. exports rose by 55 percent. By the year 2000, trade summed to 26 percent of U.S. GDP, the United States imported almost two thirds of its oil, and was the world's largest host country for foreign investors. America's interest in a more open and prosperous foreign market is now squarely economic. This volume presents cases on five important trade negotiations all focused on making the rules, or the process of establishing how the trade system would operate. The cases not only explore the changing substance of trade agreements, but delve into the negotiation process. They explore not just the what of trade, but the who, how, and why of decision-making. By examining some of the most important recent negotiations, the reader can come to understand not just the larger issues surrounding trade, but how players seek to exert influence and how the system is evolving on day-to-day basis. This book presents a coherent description of the facts, that will allow for discussion and independent conclusions about policies, politics, and processes. An upcoming companion volume (ISBN 0-88132-363-2) will offer cases on settling trade disputes-or attempting to settle them. In both volumes particular attention is given to how trade decision-making occurs within the context of the American political system The two volumes will also be sold as a set ISBN 0-88132-364-0. Information on the second volume and the set will be available in the future. Artikel-Nr. 9780881323627
