A Political-Economy Theory of Trade Agreements∗. Giovanni Maggi. Princeton University and NBER. Andrés Rodríguez-Clare. Pennsylvania State University
Bilateralism and regionalism have opened the door to an explicit introduction of political criteria, in contradiction to GATT/WTO apolitical universalism. While often reactive to the initiatives of other nations, the US has not been indiscriminate, deflecting the entreaties of suitors where US international political economy interests are not the modern political-economy theory of trade policy, it is not clear why a small-country govern- ment would want to "tie its hands" and give up its ability to grant protection. For example, in (September 2007) - We present a model where trade agreements are motivated by the desire of governments to commit vis-à-vis domestic lobbies, in addition to standard terms-of-trade externalities. The model predicts that trade liberalization is deeper when capital is more mobile across sectors, and when governments are more politically motivated (provided domestic-commitment motives are strong enough). political-economy approach similar to that of Wolfgang Mayer (1984), in which a simple majority of voters is required to pass a pro-posal. Agents are presented first with a poten-tial bilateral free-trade agreement and then with a multilateral free-trade agreement.

In the United States certain industries, such as automobile and electronics manufacturers, favor RTAs because such agreements allow these industries to exploit low manufacturing costs in other countries in the hemisphere, while avoiding the competition from European and Japanese producers that they would face in a multilateral agreement. This chapter examines the current state and the political and economic aspects of regional trade agreements (RTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). It supports that notion that RTA can complement multilateral trade systems and the argument that they can function as a backbone for a liberalizing international trade system. Preferential trading arrangements are analyzed from the viewpoint of the “new political economy” that views trade policy as being determined by lobbying of concentrated interest groups.
