Abstract
The literature on US trade policy-making is characterized by a dichotomy between explanations centred on the influence played by interest groups versus those that focus on divided government. Scholars disagree about whether US trade liberalization has been obstructed when different parties hold majority control of Congress and the presidency (divided government) and as to whether Congress abdicated from its constitutional powers by delegating trade authority to the president.
