Ph.D. Dissertation
From Hegemony to Multiple Hierarchy: Bush, Free Trade Agreements, and the Decline of the Multilateral Trade Order

This question is significant, as the current era of unipolarity is now witnessing declining American hegemony. To get at the problem, I examine the relationship between U.S. hegemonic decline and the post World War II multilateral trade regime.
