An establishment of RTAA agreement in the US in 1934 was extremely surprising, as the agreement lowered trade tariffs, whereby the US has always been known to be extremely protectionist. Even more surprising was the fact that the agreement was not overthrown when the Republicans came to power. The agreement passed the tariff setting power over to the president. This essay addresses different theories of why this was done, bringing together a large number of arguments that have been established by the economists over the years. It is decided that ñefficiencyò was not the cause of this decision, nor was the delegation of power, but rather the coalition. The work is based on the arguments of Hiscox (1999), Bailey et al (1997), McGillivray (2004), Lohmann, Susanne and Sharyn O'Halloran (1994) and Hall, H. Keith and Douglas Nelson (1992).

This dissertation tried to discuss the genesis and scope of Anti-Globalization Social Movements (AGSMs) and Transnational Advocacy Networks in the context of the Globalization policies of international financial institutions and World Trade Organization (WTO). The first part, discussed the nature and evolution of AGSMs and TANs and their linkage and interrelationships. This constituted the theoretical and conceptual framework of the dissertation. The composition and organization of the Anti-Globalization movement was also discussed in this part. This part established that the most appropriate way to describe and analyse the AGSMs the Keck and Sikkink's networks model. The second part, dealt specifically with the TANs and their operating methodology. This section established the Political Opportunity Structure Model (POSM) and the Resource Mobilization Model (RMM) is the basis of further examination on AGSMs and TANs. In that it was established that a social movement's success and failure large depends upon the applicability of these two models and that these models suggest an appropriate mechanism to evaluate them. It is also discussed the methodology the TANs employ in achieving the goals of various social movements which in the present case was the AGSMs. The third and final part comprised to two case studies of Anti-Globalization Movement - The Zapatistas Movement in Mexico and the American Militia Movement in the United States. Whereas, one is extreme left-wing movement resenting the Globalization and other is, its opposite, an extreme right wing movement with the same ideology and cause. This part actually applied the theoretical foundations actually traced in the earlier parts on the empirical evidence selected for the purpose of this study. With a view to assess the success and scope of these movements both the POS model and the RM model were applied on these movement. It was discovered that the networks model was also helpful in examining them. Basing upon the identity, goals and adversary model this part also synthesised that the AGSMs have a future as long as their adversary - the corporate capitalism and hegemonic globalization exist. This application of this typology also revealed that the AGSMs have a capability of sustenance no matter their complexity and heterogeneity.
