| Sumario: | The role of the U.S. government in the international trade arena is examined in order to determine how the growing global challenges confronting the nation can be met more effectively. Despite President Clinton's efforts and commitment to move forward and overcome the vacuum in governance, and serious financial and technological setbacks left in industry after the presidencies of Reagan and Bush, the role of U.S. government agencies in the international arena still remains in limbo. Nevertheless, the role of U.S. public managers could be revised and their impact on issues affecting the nation's competitiveness heightened by clarifying agency roles to avoid duplication, eliminating agencies that do not work, removing the barriers that inhibit business development, and widening opportunities, wherever possible, that enhance technology.
