Abstract

La politique commerciale constitue un instrument de la rivalité économique entre les États. La politique commerciale américaine et les réactions qu’elle provoque à travers le monde se voient souvent attribuer un rôle majeur dans la diffusion internationale de la crise de 1929. Aux États-Unis, pour des raisons d’ordre constitutionnel, cette politique est l’objet d’une lutte de pouvoir entre le Congrès et l’Administration. Cette spécificité américaine rend quelquefois difficile l’identification d’une ligne de force économique dans l’histoire de cette politique. L’objet de cet article est d’évaluer s’il est possible d’affirmer que 1934 marque le début d’une révolution dans l’orientation de la politique commerciale américaine qui a placé les États-Unis en position de leader bienveillant, après des décennies principalement marquées par une posture relevant de l’isolationnisme et inspirée par l’unilatéralisme.
