Developing countries increasingly invest in coalition building to effect gains in international trade negotiations. This essay reviews recent literature on coalitions to assess its contribution to our understanding of the causes, types, and effectiveness of developing country coalitions. In particular, the global diffusion of power is discussed as an important dynamic affecting coalitions in trade negotiations. Our understanding of how these coalitions operate would be strengthened by paying attention to the derivation of state interests, rather than specifying them exogenously, and to the negotiation tactics that states use when working in coalitions.
