Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I build on the argument I developed elsewhere that changes in countries' external market access rather than simple increases in countries' trade integration facilitate their political liberalization. In this context where changes in the external market access facilitate political liberalization, countries' membership in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) can have two competing effects. Membership in the GATT/WTO can amplify the politically liberalizing effects of changes in the external market access by constraining political leaders' economic policy freedom. Or, membership in the GATT/WTO can reduce the politically liberalizing effects of changes in the external market access by universally streamlining member countries' market access and thus minimizing the maximum changes in their external market access countries can confront. Supporting the second logic, statistical analyses of 108 developing countries show that when countries' external market access changed, countries that did not belong to the WTO underwent greater political liberalization than WTO member countries.
