  • APEC Policy Brief
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, November 9, 2006 Press contact: Neeley Main, Senior Program and Outreach Coordinator, Shorenstein APARC [email protected] or 1-650-723-8387. Pan-Asian regionalism remains a long-term aspiration rather than a short- term prospect, but that having been said, that was true of Europe fifty years ago. – Michael Armacost, Shorenstein Distinguished Fellow On November 2 Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, in association with University of California at Berkeley’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Study Center, convened regional and economic experts to discuss the role of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group and its relationship to the future of regionalism and regional integration in East Asia. The meeting was timely, as APEC’s annual week of high-level meetings begins on November 12th in Hanoi, Vietnam. It will culminate in a summit of heads of state (and a representative from Taiwan) on November 18-19—a key opportunity for President Bush to talk with regional leaders about a range of issues, including North Korea. In examining APEC’s agenda and its potential institutional challengers, scholars focused on how the US might get more out of the forum and how the US could alter its approach to Asian regionalism to ensure continued relevance and influence in the region. According to Dr. Donald Emmerson, director of the Southeast Asia Forum and senior fellow at Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), “Asian regionalism is at a crossroads, and it

Japan SPOTLIGHT interviewed Dr. Vinod Aggarwal, Travers Family senior faculty fellow and professor of political science, and director of the Berkeley APEC Study Center at the University of California, Berkeley, to discuss how political-structural issues in the US could make the East Asian political economy more volatile and complex. Is there room for optimism about the future roles of East Asian nations in global governance and how can they use their soft power for economic cooperation? (Interviewed on Oct. 15, 2018) Declining US Leadership someone like Donald Trump has emerged. As a consequence, I think JS: The US seems to find it populism will last on and off for a difficult to play a leading role decade – but not forever.

  • US Trade Policy in Flux
    Business and Politics Volume 11, Issue 3 2009 Article 2 GLOBAL ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE: BEYOND MANAGEMENT BY THE UNITED STATES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION? Reluctance to Lead: U.S. Trade Policy in Flux Vinod Aggarwal, UC Berkeley Recommended Citation: Aggarwal, Vinod (2009) "Reluctance to Lead: U.S. Trade Policy in Flux," Business and Politics: Vol. 11: Iss. 3, Article 2. DOI: 10.2202/1469-3569.1257 Reluctance to Lead: U.S. Trade Policy in Flux Vinod Aggarwal Abstract The U.S. is no longer providing leadership in trade policy. In recent years, we have seen a sharp turn toward a rapid proliferation of bilateral preferential trade agreements, accords that are likely to undermine the World Trade Organization (WTO). By pursuing a strategy of 'competitive liberalization' both on a sectoral basis under the Bill Clinton administration, and then a policy of seeking bilateral arrangements under the George W. Bush administration, this article argues that American administrations have undermined the coalition for free trade in the United States. Consequently, protectionist industries including textiles, steel, and agriculture have made further liberalization more difficult and thus the prospects for promoting continued trade liberalization have grown dimmer. KEYWORDS: U.S. trade policy, competitive liberalization, trade agreements, murky protectionism Author Notes: Vinod K. Aggarwal is Professor of Political Science, Affiliated Professor of Business, and Director of the Berkeley APEC Study Center at the University of California at Berkeley.

And it's a pleasure to be co-hosting this event today with the U.S.-Japan Research Institute. Today we are going to talk about Japan's trade policy, in an era of rising anti- globalism. The launch of an America first trade policy, with its embrace of buy American, hire American, has created a lot of uncertainty in the trade policy world. But there also have been already immediately consequences. And I'm talking about the decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This mega trade deal has been at the center, at the core of Japan's trade diplomacy, but also a part of its economic revitalization strategy.
