Can cooperation entail conflict? What are the security externalities of changes in economic cooperation? Does increased trade cooperation of the trading partner with another country shape security views amongst citizens in China and the USA?

Why is trade framed in terms of national security? An exciting new paper by @yavuzmehmet.bsky.social, Gemma Mateo and @andduer.bsky.social in @pspolisci.bsky.social explores how US trade policy is shaped by national security. The evidence suggests that security frames are used strategically.

Title and abstract of paper.
Title: "Who Drives the Security Narrative in US Trade Policy?"
Abstract: "Appeals to national security play a central role in contemporary US trade politics. Who drives this security narrative and why? We argue that executive branch actors, regardless of political party affiliation, are more likely to frame trade policy in national-security terms. In Congress, however, we expect Republicans to rely more heavily than Democrats on a national-security narrative. We tested these expectations through a systematic analysis of trade-related discourse by congressional and executive actors from 2001 to early 2025. Using a large language model to examine a substantial corpus of speeches, press releases, and official statements, we find only partial support for our argument: the anticipated partisan difference appears, but security framing is more prevalent in Congress than in the executive branch. Overall, the evidence suggests that actors use security framing as a strategic tool to reinforce their role and confer legitimacy on particular trade policies."

Very happy to see this paper published. We examine how elites (legislators) and the public evaluate different policies designed to compensate the losers from trade. Using original survey data from legislators and public opinion surveys in 3 countries, we find only a limited elite–public gap.

Here now a brief summary of the key ideas in our paper: 1.) US trade policy has historically been eclectic. At most times, it has combined liberal and protectionist elements. 2.) The international trade system has developed resilience to US departures from liberal commitments.

I've seen many issues linked to trade agreements, but this seems a first... It should be clear by now that one cannot seriously negotiate with the current US administration.

Anybody tell him that the US could also try a different approach, i.e., put maximum pressure on Russia so it has an incentive to negotiate seriously? Everyone with a bit of an understanding of negotiations understood that the approach by the current US admin was not going to work
