Book Description
In 1989, the Tribunal was asked to conduct an investigation on how to reduce textile tariffs to levels which would be more in line with those of other industrialized countries. The recommendations produced apply to the portions of the textile industry which produce fibres, yarns, fabrics and certain specialty products, and which generally serve as input in the manufacture of other products. This report presents the results of that investigation after public hearings, plant visits and interviews with those involved in the textile industry. The report reviews the structure, performance, competitive factors and future directions of the textile and downstream industries; the international setting, concentrating on such factors as the MFA, VERs and the MTN; analyzes the tariff structures of Canada, the EEC, Japan and the U.S., then shows the actual tariff comparisons focusing in particular on differences in tariffs between Canada and the U.S.; describes the illustrative tariff options developed by the Tribunal staff; then sets out recommendations and the rationale underlying them.

Book Description
A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year: “Tells the history of American trade policy . . . [A] grand narrative [that] also debunks trade-policy myths.” —Economist Should the United States be open to commerce with other countries, or should it protect domestic industries from foreign competition? This question has been the source of bitter political conflict throughout American history. Such conflict was inevitable, James Madison argued in the Federalist Papers, because trade policy involves clashing economic interests. The struggle between the winners and losers from trade has always been fierce because dollars and jobs are at stake: depending on what policy is chosen, some industries, farmers, and workers will prosper, while others will suffer. Douglas A. Irwin’s Clashing over Commerce is the most authoritative and comprehensive history of US trade policy to date, offering a clear picture of the various economic and political forces that have shaped it. From the start, trade policy divided the nation—first when Thomas Jefferson declared an embargo on all foreign trade and then when South Carolina threatened to secede from the Union over excessive taxes on imports. The Civil War saw a shift toward protectionism, which then came under constant political attack. Then, controversy over the Smoot-Hawley tariff during the Great Depression led to a policy shift toward freer trade, involving trade agreements that eventually produced the World Trade Organization. Irwin makes sense of this turbulent history by showing how different economic interests tend to be grouped geographically, meaning that every proposed policy change found ready champions and opponents in Congress. Deeply researched and rich with insight and detail, Clashing over Commerce provides valuable and enduring insights into US trade policy past and present. “Combines scholarly analysis with a historian’s eye for trends and colorful details . . . readable and illuminating, for the trade expert and for all Americans wanting a deeper understanding of America’s evolving role in the global economy.” —National Review “Magisterial.” —Foreign Affairs
