About this book

Introduction

This book examines an event that never happened - a trade war between the US and the EC in respect of the civil aircraft builder, Airbus Industrie. By understanding this trade dispute, the author casts light on broader issues of international cooperation by focusing on the bilateral trade negotiations that took place between 1979 and 1992. He considers the role played by aerospace firms, the GATT and the transatlantic alliance in shaping this cooperative outcome.
