The authors develop a new theoretical pol itical economy framework\, called a `parallel contest’\, that emphasizes t he political fight over trade agreement (TA) ratification within countries . TA ratification is inherently uncertain in each country\, where anti- an d pro-trade interest groups contest each other to influence their own gove rnments’ ratification decision. Unlike prior literature\, the protection e mbodied in negotiated TA tariffs reflects a balance between the liberalizi ng force of lobbying and inherently protectionist government preferences. Moreover\, new international political externalities emerge that are not i nternalized by governments that just internalize terms of trade externalit ies. \;
