We examine this question via an analysis of trade disputes involving the United States. This allows us to assess whether the US does better than other countries in this judicialised forum: and in so doing enhance the competitive prospects of their firms. The results are equivocal. The United States does best in the early phases of a dispute, where political power is important. It does less well as the process develops.enWorld Trade Organization US Hegemony Trade Analysis01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift725-744
