This critical book assesses the current trade policy challenges facing the US and offers a series of recommendations which, if implemented, have the potential to improve both US domestic trade policy and international foreign policy. Focusing on the reform of the WTO, the implementation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and the continuing rivalry between the US and China, The Future of Trade crucially advances the ongoing dialogue between US governments and stakeholders. This timely analysis proposes a clear, dynamic and comprehensive series of recommendations through an interdisciplinary approach analysing law, economics and public policy in relation to the US home economy and its position in the global economic order. Chapters propose key suggestions, including rebuilding support for an open trading system; fostering integration between the United States, Canada and Mexico; and a restructuring of the WTO to create an equal system for all members. As many world powers retreat from globalisation, David A. Gantz and Tony Payan argue that the US faces long-term challenges which will require effective non-controversial policy at both a national and international level. An invaluable resource for public policy, law, and politics scholars, particularly those focusing on trade policy, this comprehensive book will also be of crucial benefit to US government officials in trade bureaucracy, foreign officials, and members of State and Congress in the department of trade.
