- Abstract
This paper conducts an empirical analysis of stakeholders' responses to the United States Trade Representative's (USTR) public consultation on the US-UK trade negotiations with the objective of shedding light on the efficacy of this type of mechanism for engaging stakeholders in trade negotiations. The findings reveal the limited capacity of this public consultation mechanism to reach out to the diverse range of stakeholders that are likely to be affected by trade negotiations and to take advantage of stakeholders' input in the formulation of the US"/R's specific objectives for these negotiations. The paper suggests ways to strengthen the outreach of public consultations and the impact of stakeholders' responses on the trade policy-making process in order to reinforce trust in the governments' efforts to promote public engagement in trade negotiations.
