 | Constraints and Compromises: Trade Policy in a Democracy: The Case of the U.S.-Israel Free Trade Area Subjects: Economics Finance Business & Industry; Politics & International Relations; Economics Finance and Accounting; Business Management and Marketing; Industry & Industrial Studies; International Political Economy; International Economics; Business History; International Business; Service Industries; Politics of International Trade; The negotiation of the Free Trade Area between the US and Israel was, at the time, a remarkable political accomplishment, and is a useful case study because it includes all of the industrial and agricultural sectors, thus spanning the full spectrum of issues that would be dealt with in negotiations. In addition, it has the advantage of involving just two countries and lasting only fifteen months from start to finish, facilitating a comprehensive analysis. This book, first published in 1990, provides a valuable analysis of this vital case study of an FTA from commencement to completion. |
