Consider how Section 201 (safeguard against injury) has been used in the United States in recent years. Safeguard measures were applied by President Reagan in the Harley- Davidson case and by President Bush to protect the U.S. steel industry in 2002. Based on your research, on what other occasions has a U.S. president imposed safeguard measures to protect an American industry since 1980? Evaluate the government’s use of safeguard measures. What are the pros and cons of using safeguards? What are the effects on domestic industry in the short term? How might it affect a firm’s competitiveness in the long term? Although the administrative process is handled through a bipartisan, independent commission (the ITC), why is the process still very political?
