Abstract:

Over the past decade, a number of America's key manufacturing sectors--automobiles, shipbuilding, textiles and steel--have been in decline. Administration policy toward steel thus must also address the broader challenge of restoring America's industrial base. Integral to any such strategy is a sound posture toward the conduct of U.S. international trade policy.
