How is U.S. trade policy an example of a two-level game? Who are the most important actors in this game? How does this game affect how the United States prioritizes trade policy over other types of global economic policies?

What will be an ideal response?

Answers should describe a two-level game in U.S. trade policy as one in which officials in the executive branch negotiate simultaneously with foreign leaders and domestic stakeholders, including business firms, labor unions, and members of Congress. Answers should also address how negotiators have to resolve all concerns to the greatest extent possible in order to ensure that the agreement will be acceptable to all parties. Answers should also identify how despite the fact that the U.S. enjoys a commanding lead in many sectors of foreign trade, particularly services, military equipment, and the high-technology goods associated with the computer industry, demand for foreign goods forces policy makers to prioritize trade policies over other global economic policy.
