How did the debate over China’s trading status and possible admission to the World Trade Organization (WTO) during the Clinton administration lead to the establishment of an issue network? Be sure to define issue network in your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should identify how the Clinton administration and multinational corporations wanted to give China the “most-favored nation” status in order to build better trade relations and ease its ability to gain entry to the WTO. However, many individuals and groups opposed this for many different reasons. Although each of these groups had different goals, they shared the objective of preventing these new relationships with China and formed an issue network. Examples of issue network participants may include trade unions, environmentalists, feminists, conservative members of Congress, and human rights activists. Answers should define issue networks as a model of decision-making that involves more actors and is more open to competing viewpoints, bringing together interested governmental and private actors with shared expertise in a given area of public policy.
