Government, trade, and economic integration
Article Abstract:
An understanding of the implications of economic integration depends on a knowledge of protectionism and the political economy of trade policy. A multilateral trading system appears to be in the best interests of the US, but many of its policies deal with bilateral arrangements. Policymakers may have lost sight of the US' best interests as interest groups promoting protection have removed trade policy from the field of the public good. Economists must evaluate bilateral policies and increase politicians' costs of working with special interest groups.
