The open trading system that the United States sponsored after the Second World War serves US interests by promoting cooperation and prosperity, but also allows the allies to become more independent and China to rise. The case studies in Trade and American Leadership examine how the value of preferential trade programs is undercut by the multilateral liberalization that the United States promoted for generations, and how trade sanctions tend either to be too economically costly to impose or too modest to matter. These problems are exacerbated by a domestic political system in which the gains from trade are unevenly distributed, power is fragmented, and strategies are easily undermined. Trade and American Leadership places special emphasis on today's challenges, and the rising danger of economic nationalism. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign economic relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 5 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074330.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015208.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021012010.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20191002013717.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502025808.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1D325112550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
