United States' trade policy has moved in recent years toward aggressive unilateralism. This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of this dramatic development. The authors, leading scholars of international economics, GATT law and political science, explain the legislative history of the policy as expressed in section 301 of the Trade Act and the more recent Super 301, and explore the political forces driving their adoption. The 301 policy contrasts with America's simultaneous support of multilateral talks at the Uruguay Round intended to reconstitute and revitalize the GATT. Professor Bhagwati and his co-authors present the full economic and legal issues raised by the policy and its implications for not just the Uruguay Round but for the whole concept of a multilateral world trading system.
