If this is the case, why would any nation agree to participate? Jacqueline Krikorian explores this question by examining the impact of the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism on domestic policies in the United States and Canada. She demonstrates that the WTO's ability to influence domestic arrangements has been constrained by three factors: judicial deference, institutional arrangements, and strategic decision making by political elites in Ottawa and Washington. By bringing the insights of law and politics scholarship to bear on a subject matter traditionally addressed by international relations scholars, Krikorian shows that the classic division in political science between these two fields of study, though suitable in the postwar era, is outdated in the context of a globalized world.Law and society series.Foreign trade regulationPolitical aspectsCanadaForeign trade regulationPolitical aspectsUnited StatesCanadaPolitics and governmentUnited StatesPolitics and governmentCanadaPolitique et gouvernementÉtats-UnisPolitique et gouvernementForeign trade regulationPolitical aspectsForeign trade regulationPolitical aspects343.7108/7Krikorian Jacqueline D1534908MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779297703321International trade law and domestic policy3782769UNINA
