As scholars have turned to domestic politics to explain internationaloutcomes, new puzzles have emerged. One persistent question concerns therole of divided government in the United States. Is liberalizationof U.S. trade policy impeded if different parties control Congress andthe presidency?

In an effort to resolve thisissue, I summarize competing perspectives; highlight the questionableassumptions underpinning existing theories; and employ spatial models,statistical analysis, and historical data.
