Abstract
Business is among the main stakeholders in trade negotiations. It is therefore common practice for business associations as well as individual companies to lobby their governments to make them pursue trade agreements that suit their interests. Thus, trade negotiations have often been envisaged as a ‘two-Ievel’ game in which governments have to bargain with domestic groups and trading partners simultaneously (Putnam 1988, Intal-ITD-STA 2002). Recently many governments have involved business so closely in trade negotiations and delegated such authority to it that the sharp distinction between the two levels of the game has become blurred.
