David A. Lake contends that the dominant explanation, interest group theory, does not adequately explain American trade strategy or address the contradictory elements of cooperation and conflict that shape the international economy.\u003ci\u003e Power, Protection, and Free Trade\u003c\/i\u003e offers an alternative, systemic approach to trade strategy that builds on the interaction between domestic and international factors.
