From the Paper
"Some believe that the United States is the most powerful nation in the world, and this is largely accurate, but it also depends on how power is considered. However, when it comes to trade, and export and import issues, the United States is relatively weak in the fact that it imports so much from other countries. Generally, this is not a problem provided that all countries get along with each other well. It could become a problem, however, if other countries were to stop their trade with the United States. Many of the countries that make specific products use them in those countries and also send them to the United States (Mansfield, & Bronson, 1997). Even though the United States is an important avenue for export, there are many other countries that also use these various goods and services (Mansfield, & Bronson, 1997)."

"At the San Ramon center, Chevron engineers are using the latest computer modeling techniques to pinpoint underground oil deposits halfway around the world. Procurement experts are negotiating contracts to deliver the latest oil drilling equipment from the central mountains of Papua New Guinea to the wind-swept deserts of Kazakhstan. Economic analysts keep a close eye on the world price of oil to determine when to pump more oil from overseas wells and when to cut back. Accountants analyze budgets from COPI operations on five continents and 23 countries. All this activity is critical to the future of San Francisco-based Chevron, which is steadily cutting back on its investment in U.S. oil drilling because of tight environmental regulations and because easy-to-reach domestic oil is disappearing."

"With the advent of television, a venue for was created for pro football players to showcase commercial products. In 1951 Stanley Matthews (the first pro football player to be knighted) received ?20 a week from CWS (Co operative society) for sporting football boots. At this time, however, most players were tied to their clubs, bound to a maximum wage and abiding by the retain-and-transfer contract system, necessitating that they keep their ?day? jobs. When England hosted the World Cup Finals in 1966, the ceiling for the maximum wage was lifted. It was at this time a mascot entered the fray, the tournament was effectively ?branded?, and the first superstar, George Best was born. (Critcher, 1991) An official song was created for the tournament, replica ?World Cup Willy? Lions were sold, and approximately 400 million people world wide watched the TV coverage."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the trade balance and the exchange rate. The writer details the general rule of economics that states a negative trade deficit normally leads to a weaker currency while trade surplus results in enhanced value of currency, although there are exceptions to the rule, which are detailed in this paper. This paper discusses the issue of the U.S. trade balance and its effect on the exchange rate of the country's currency which is currently in the limelight due to the burgeoning U.S. trade deficit and the declining value of the dollar against other major world currencies. The writer of this paper delves into America's economy against that of China's and questions whether the U.S. dollar will retain its status of the reserve currency in the long run. This paper touches on the opinions and views of economists and U.S. treasury officials who contend that the current trade deficit is nothing to be alarmed about as the country's economy and the U.S. dollar survived a similar slide in the late 1980s. This paper also discusses the opinion of the U.S. administration that believes the alleged under-valuation of the Chinese Yen is a prime source for the deficit problems since there is a huge and growing trade imbalance between the U.S. exports and imports to China. The well-researched and well-written paper clearly define the terms: Trade balance, exchange rate and reserve currency.

From the Paper
"The key question is, can the US dollar retain its status of the resrve currency for long? History suggests that it may not. Before the advent of the dollar as the world's reserve currency, the British Pound had enjoyed such a status. Between the two World Wars and the post-World War II period saw the weakeing of the British economy. As a result, the British Pound was devalued by 30% in 1949, effectively ending its run as the world's reserve currency and the start of the dollar's reign. Dollar has been able to retain its status as the reserve currency since it was relatively stable, was backed up by the formidable economy of the US, low interest rates and the absence of an alternative currency."

From the Paper
"Fidel Castro has ruled Cuba through ten U.S. presidents. He took power in 1959, at the height of the Cold War, while Dwight D. Eisenhower was still in office. Although initially, he declared he was not a Communist, by the fall of 1960, thousands of Cubans were fleeing their homeland, for the reality was that Castro was establishing a Communist dictatorship (Montagne). Three months after taking office, John F. Kennedy authorized a covert invasion aimed at overthrowing Castro regime. However, it failed and was condemned by governments worldwide. This invasion basically gave Castro an excuse to allow Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, aimed at the United States (Montagne)."

From the Paper
"The United States? trade policy has developed in a schizophrenic manner over the last fifty years; for much of the 20th century, Americans generally supported a U.S. trade policy of removing barriers to international commerce and encouraging a freer flow of trade and investment among nations; at this time, support for free trade extended from union leaders to the major business organizations and to consumer groups such as the League of Women Voters. However, by the end of that decade, the broad pro-trade consensus was wavering. Domestic industries, notably steel and automobiles, began to suffer from rising foreign competition, unemployment became an enduring experience for many factory workers and the membership of the major industrial unions declined substantially."

"Introduction
Japan is an important trading partner for the United States, but there are still problems because of the Japanese propensity for different forms of protectionism to keep out competitive goods. There are certain goods that Japan has a particular need for and that the Japanese cannot produce themselves in sufficient quantity, such as wood, highly prized in Japan for its decorative and constructive qualities but not produced domestically in any great quantity. Rice is a staple in Japan, and the Japanese consumes a good deal of rice each year without allowing much in the way of imports from other countries. It is believed that there is a market large enough to support imported rice to a greater degree than is presently ..."

"Recently, the Commerce Department announced that the U.S. merchandise trade deficit narrowed to a seasonally adjusted $32.78 billion in the fourth quarter on a balance-of-payments basis from a revised $35.97 billion in the third quarter.. Despite this news, many policymakers see the U.S. trade deficit as a symptom that the country has lost its edge in international competition. They believe that foreign competitors are able to take markets away from U.S. producers because they have some important advantages. In particular, they have lower wages, superior technology, and "unfair" trade practices..
A similar scenario in the Reagan years created a rise in protectionism, and some worry about history repeating itself. According to Harold B. Malmgren, a Washington, D.C. economist, as the trade deficit increases, the United States might embark on a..."

"The fashion industry has been a tremendous contributor to the UK's economy. Historical evidences depict that the UK's economic development has been dominantly fuelled by the successes in the fashion industry. Over all these years, industrial successes in textiles and fashion goods component have been noteworthy and can be attributed to the continuous change in lifestyle of the people and the increasing value being placed to such products.
