贸易论坛的爆炸性增长提出了一些根本性的问题，即为什么各国在追求自由化的同时也要选择论坛。我们提出了一个新颖的论点，将国际贸易论坛的制度设计直接与国内政治联系起来。如果工业化的民主国家在经济自由化迅速推进的同时，必须安抚国内政治市场上的冲突力量，它们就应该优先考虑那些允许它们对自由化的速度和范围施加更大控制的论坛。这一优先顺序受到两个关键维度之间的权衡的影响，这两个维度在所有国际贸易论坛中以不同的方式联合收割机在一起：收益维度，它决定了各国根据论坛规则增加经济福利的程度;控制维度，它决定了各国根据其政治关切制定论坛规则的权力。我们使用的情况下，日本证明的重要性，增益控制权衡。
The explosive proliferation of trade forums poses fundamental questions about why states forum-shop as they pursue liberalization. We advance a novel argument linking the institutional design of international trade forums directly to domestic politics. If industrialized democratic states have to appease conflicting forces in the domestic political marketplace as economic liberalization proceeds apace, they should prioritize forums that allow them to exert greater control over the pace and scope of liberalization. This prioritization is influenced by a tradeoff between two critical dimensions that combine differently across all international trade forums: the gains dimension, which determines the extent to which states can increase economic welfare based on the forum's rules; and the control dimension, which determines the extent to which they have power to set the forum's rules in line with their political concerns. We use the case of Japan to demonstrate the importance of the gains-control tradeoff .
