Abstract

There are four theoretical perspectives that can be used to explain foreign trade policy tendencies: the international political view, the international economic view, the domestic statist view and the domestic societal view. By reflecting these four theoretical perspectives the determinants of US antidumping decisions are analysed. The findings indicate that the international political and domestic societal perspectives dominate the analysis. Specifically, international tension and the level of organization of interest group since 1980 appear to be highly relevant for understanding US antidumping decisions.
