This project aims to investigate why free trade agreements are increasingly politicised in liberal democracies. Politicisation has generated widespread public backlash against free trade but has also varied across agreements and countries. The project uses a novel comparative framework to explain the economic and political factors determining free trade agreement politicisation in the US, EU and Australia, actors with the most trade deals. Expected outcomes include new understandings of public backlash against free trade and globalisation. Expected benefits include recommendations on including civil society in trade policy-making and allaying populist protectionism, without jeopardising economic openness and the rules-based liberal order.

这个项目旨在调查为什么自由贸易协定在自由民主国家越来越政治化。政治化引发了公众对自由贸易的广泛反弹，但在不同的协议和国家，这种反弹也各不相同。该项目使用一个新颖的比较框架来解释决定美国、欧盟和澳大利亚自由贸易协定政治化的经济和政治因素，这些国家的贸易协定最多。预期的结果包括对公众反对自由贸易和全球化的新理解。预期的好处包括，在不损害经济开放和以规则为基础的自由秩序的前提下，建议将公民社会纳入贸易政策制定，减轻民粹主义保护主义。
