Abstract
This first empirical chapter focuses on the EU’s safeguard case against Chinese textile and clothing products, which unfolded in the course of 2005. The case will be used to test the theoretical propositions formulated in the previous chapter. It will do so by looking at the political involvement of the import-competing firms, which pushed for the imposition of safeguard measures. It will then examine the response of import-dependent firms and answer the key question: Did import-dependent firms adjust or mobilize politically when confronted with the potential losses in revenue as a result of the imposition of safeguard measures?
