Critics of the World Trade Organization argue that its bindingdispute settlement process imposes a neoliberal agenda on its memberstates with little to no input from their citizenry or governments. Ifthis is the case, why would any nation agree to participate? In International Trade Law and Domestic Policy, JacquelineKrikorian explores this question by examining the impact of theWTO"s dispute settlement mechanism on domestic policies in theUnited States and Canada. She demonstrates that the WTO"s abilityto influence domestic arrangements has been constrained by threefactors: judicial deference, institutional arrangements, and strategicdecision making by political elites in Ottawa and Washington. In this groundbreaking assessment of whether supranational courtsare now setting the legislative agenda of sovereign nations, Krikorianbrings the insights of law and politics scholarship to bear on asubject matter traditionally addressed by international relationsscholars. By doing so, she shows that the classic division betweenthese two fields of study in the discipline of political science,though suitable in the postwar era, is outdated in the context of aglobalized world.
