Conti examines presidential rhetoric on trade, providing a detailed
analysis of presidential trade arguments and strategies throughout
American history. She then concentrates on the rhetoric of
contemporary presidents, who have had to contend with both the
burgeoning trade deficit and the displacement of military
competitiveness with post-cold war economic competitiveness.
Despite vast disparities in governing philosophies and strategies,
Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton all preached the virtues of
free trade while continuing a policy of select protectionist
actions. As Conti suggests, the arcane details of trade policy, the
continuing pervasiveness of nontariff barriers, and the impending
negotiation of international trade agreements combine to make
presidential leadership on economic issues critical. How effective
that leadership can be is, in large part, dependent upon the
effectiveness of presidential rhetoric. Students, scholars, and
researchers in the field of speech communication and rhetoric,
political communication, public affairs, and the presidency will
find this a stimulating survey.
