Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this research, I seek to investigate what made the United States, the global hegemon and the largest economy in the world, to backdown from its protectionist policy, using the model of two-level analysis of the U.S. steel case. Focusing on either the domestic or international level game in isolation may lead us to overlook the importance of dynamic interactions among multiple causes and effects in analyzing international politics as well as foreign policy behaviors of states. Therefore, I attempt to analyze the effects of domestic politics as well as the international organization’s norm creating and dispute settling mechanisms on the U.S. decision with regard to the WTO ruling. I’ll also examine how the newly emerged Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) of the WTO has empowered other states to more effectively pressure the United States to lift the safeguard measures. In this, I modify the focus of the traditional two-level model to examine the relationship between a hegemon and its domestic politics; a hegemon and the international organization; a hegemon and other states interacting within a framework of the international organization; and the complex linkages among all the above. The case analysis of the research shows that the United States, though not necessarily behaves in a way that strengthens international norms, can still be constrained if there is an effective international institutional framework based on which the international community affects the domestic configurations of American politics. Overall, this study will shed important light on how the international organization, in conjunction with domestic politics, can influence even the most powerful country in the world to comply with a ruling against its protective measures.
