With the end of the Cold War and the advent of the Clinton administration, economic advantage has become an overarching goal of American policy abroad. But for those working in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) economic concerns have always been paramount. As the President's trade negotiating arm, and a key player in policy formation, USTR looks out for the interests of American companies, workers, and farmers in the global marketplace.
Now, in Trade Warriors, journalist Steve Dryden provides the first comprehensive history of USTR. Based on extensive interviews and declassified government documents, Trade Warriors is the compelling, inside account of the postwar American campaign for free trade.
Created by President Kennedy in 1962, USTR has been led by a fascinating mix of characters, among them, statesman Christian Herter, Democratic wheeler-dealer Robert Strauss, Republican Party notable William Brock, and Washington superlawyer Carla Hills. President Clinton appointed one of his campaign managers, Mickey Kantor, to the trade representative's post. Gradually, yet with unmistakable intent, these individuals have altered the course of U.S. international economic policy.
- Trade Warriors is essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the evolving U.S. role in the world economy.
