International trade often inspires intense conflict between workers
and their employers. In this book, Adam Dean studies the conditions
under which labor and capital collaborate in support of the same
trade policies. Dean argues that capital-labor agreement on trade
policy depends on the presence of 'profit-sharing institutions'. He
tests this theory through case studies from the United States,
Britain, and Argentina in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth
centuries; they offer a revisionist history placing class conflict
at the center of the political economy of trade. Analysis of data
from more than one hundred countries from 1986 to 2002 demonstrates
that the field's conventional wisdom systematically exaggerates the
benefits that workers receive from trade policy reforms. From
Conflict to Coalition boldly explains why labor is neither an
automatic beneficiary nor an automatic ally of capital when it
comes to trade policy and distributional conflict.
