Abstract

While much of the literature has considered the merits of the two policy stances of unilateralism and reciprocity independently of each other, we focus on the possible causal connection between the two. Can unilateral trade liberalization by one country lead to reciprocal liberalization by its partner in the absence of negotiations between the two countries? In this survey paper, we consider this issue analytically in the context of different political economy approaches to trade policy determination.
