The IGA and Industrial Tariffs, 1964–66

Abstract

This chapter discusses the negotiations on grains and industrial tariffs in the details stage of the Kennedy Round and finds no British influence on the United States. There is no evidence here of significant US shifts on any issue. The lack of British influence is best explained by the absence of underlying conditions which were present during the agricultural and industrial tariffs negotiations in the formative stage. More generally, this chapter notes that two years of negotiations on these issues proved rather uneventful and indeterminate.
