Given the widely-accepted premise that free trade is the best means
of maximising overall societal welfare, why has it proven so
difficult to achieve in certain industries? This book tackles
arguably the most perennial and deep-rooted of all questions in
political economy, and questions the incumbent orthodox liberal
theories of collective action. Using a historical institutionalist
framework to explore and explain the political economy of trade
protectionism and liberalization, this book is based on detailed
case studies of the textiles and clothing sector in the EU, United
States, China, Caribbean Basin and sub-Saharan Africa. From this,
the book expands to discuss the origins of trade protectionism and
examine the wider political effects of liberalization, offering an
explanation of why a successful conclusion to the WTO 'Doha' round
has proven to be so elusive. The book argues that the regulation of
global trade - and the economic consequences that this has for both
developed and developing countries - has been the result of the
particular way in which trade preferences are mediated through
political institutions. The Global Political Economy of Trade
Protectionism and Liberalization will be of interest to those
studying and researching international and comparative political
economy, developing area studies, economics, law and geography.
