The Design of Autocratic Trade Agreements: Economic Integration and Political Survival
s The number of preferential trade agreements signed among non-democratic states (autocratic PTAs) has grown significantly over the last decades. Trade policy scholarship remains silent on the institutional design of these autocratic economic arrangements. In this paper, we explore the core institutional characteristic of autocratic PTAs—their depth. It has been shown that many North–South and, increasingly, South–South PTAs tend to be deep, yet …
Non-trade issues in preferential trade agreements and global value chains
Labour provisions in trade agreements and women's rights in the global south
The effect of trade liberalisation on women has been hotly contested. Here, we take a step back and explore the effect of the institutions underlying trade on freedoms for women in the Global South. We build on the literature showing that the design of trade agreements matters for social welfare outcomes and argue that labour provisions in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) can contribute to improved women's rights. We assess this claim using s…

Geo-Economic Turn in Trade Policy: EU Trade Agreements in the Asia-Pacific
Leveling-up: Explaining the depth of South-South trade agreements
Conventional wisdom holds that not all preferential trade agreements (PTAs) are alike. Trade agreements between developed and developing countries (North-South PTAs) tend to be characterized by great depth, such that they include chapters for many trade-related regulatory issues, including intellectual property, foreign investment, and investor-state dispute settlement, among other things. In this way, North-South PTAs are thought to be different…
The Structure of Coordination: Transatlantic Policy Networks and the Mobilization of Business and Civil Society
External policy networks resolve two collective action problems in EU external relations: engaging nonstate actors from the EU and its partner countries in transnational policymaking and converting this engagement to feedback for policymakers. We use formal network analysis to understand the relationship between network structure and collective action by transnational nonstate actors. Our empirical focus is on the Transatlantic Business Council a…
Normative power meets realism: EU trade policy scholarship at the turn of the decade
This review article focuses on three state-of-the-art works on EU trade policy putting them in the larger context of international trade. Each of them generates innovative theoretical and empirical insights into the politics of EU trade policy. Taken together, they represent the diversity and depth of EU trade policy scholarship in recent years which has achieved significant conceptual and methodological maturity and can help us understand some o…
Social protectionist bias: The domestic politics of North–South trade agreements
North–South preferential trade agreements (PTAs) have proliferated rapidly in the past decades. Despite a common focus on trade liberalisation, these preferential trade agreements differ greatly in their inclusion of labour and environmental provisions. A difference in the enforcement of these social standards is also puzzling: some preferential trade agreements envision sanctions for non-compliance while others do not. What explains this variati…
Social Standards in Eu and Us Trade Agreements
The EU's and Australia's approaches to trade bilateralism: Discrepancies and synergies
We examine the EU's and Australia's approaches to trade bilateralism, placing both actors in a comparative historical context and analysing potential synergies and obstacles to their bilateral FTA negotiation currently underway. We show how the EU and Australia try to balance the deepening of the trade agenda with social goals in their respective bilateral deals, converging on advancing trade-plus issues but diverging over sustainable development…
Unravelling the Puzzle of Social Standards’ Design in EU and US Trade Agreements
The European Union (EU) and the United States (US) are signing preferential trade agreements (PTAs) increasingly used as vehicles for exporting social regulation, such as labour and environmental standards. Despite the similarity in terms of the inclusion of such provisions, their design varies greatly between US and EU agreements. The US exports its domestic standards, relying on coercive enforcement, while the EU emphasises international rules …
Greening up: The effects of environmental standards in EU and US trade agreements
Can environmental provisions in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) foster an environmental race to the top? The ways in which different enforcement mechanisms in North–South PTAs affect the implementation of environmental standards in developing countries are examined. It is argued that environmental provisions in European Union (EU) and United States (US) PTAs will be effective in instigating policy change in partner countries, although the ti…
Does dialogue work? The effectiveness of labor standards in EU preferential trade agreements
While both the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) include labor standards in their preferential trade agreements (PTAs), they pursue different approaches in enforcing these standards. The US relies on coercion while the EU prefers a softer, no-sanctions approach. Are both effective in improving labor rights in partner states and what are the mechanisms leading to this improvement? Recent evidence suggests there is a positive ex ante e…
From Business to Politics: Cross‐Border Inter‐Firm Networks and Policy Spillovers in the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood
The European Union (EU) encourages cross‐border inter‐firm networks as a part of its external governance approach. What is the effect of these networks? Do they lead to regulatory convergence aroundEUstandards in the eastern neighbourhood? Using original survey data, as well as data on regional enterprise‐related regulations, this article argues that the density of interaction among private actors and between private actors and regional governmen…
Cross‐border Inter‐firm Networks in the European Union's Eastern Neighbourhood: Integration via Organizational Learning
The European Union (EU) is seeking to generate stronger integration in the wider Europe without further enlargement by involving its immediate neighbours in various regional partnerships. What are the effects of such co‐operation across the eastern borders of the EU and what are the prospects for bringing this region's countries closer to the EU without offering them the possibility of formal EU membership? Using the tools of social network analy…
