Trade Structure and the Effectiveness of America's "Aggressively Unilateral" Trade Policy

When does America's "aggressively unilateral" trade policy work best to open overseas markets? This paper revisits the determinants and effectiveness of Section 301 of U.S. trade law and develops a modified two-level game model for understanding the conditions under which domestic interests and institutions support the use of aggressive negotiation tactics. It argues that a system-level variable, the structure of trade, systematically affects threat effectiveness by influencing both the level of unity among domestic interest groups and the degree of divided government in the sender of threats (the United States). America's sanction threats will enjoy more unified domestic support and hence be more credible when the dispute involves a country having a competitive trade relationship with the U.S. (such as Japan, Canada, and the European Union) rather than one having a complementary trade relationship with the U.S. (such as China, India, and Brazil). Statistical tests based on the universe of Section 301 cases concluded between 1975 and 1995 yield evidence in support of this contention.

罗马天主教中的传统主义

1962—1965年期间召开的第二届梵蒂冈大公会(以下简称“梵二”)导致罗马天主教内部出现严重的分裂,传统主义者指责教廷“变节”和“不公正”,已经向“自由主义、共产主义、社会主义、犹太复国主义”的影响投降,并且正在“摧毁”罗马天主教的信仰。传统主义的天主教徒与罗马教廷之间的对抗常常被媒体描绘成一个旨在挽救“旧弥撒”的怀旧运动。①尽管媒体如此轻描淡写,但事实上这一冲突的性质复杂且深刻———既是对“梵二”的意义和有效性的挑战,也是对定义天主教性质的权力和权威的挑战。同时,“传统主义”也是一种抗议,抗议天主教迷失自己…
