项目摘要

The seminar series aims to generate new research, create networks, foster capacity building and user engagement by providing an interdisciplinary forum for debate and discussion on: (a) the regulatory, economic and social aspects of regional integration through FTAs; (b) what FTAs bring to partner countries; and (c) the current state of play in FTA activity in the EU, USA and Asia. By providing a wide geographical spread of seminars that focus on specific themes of regional trading agreements, its effects and the move towards a common regulatory framework, we propose to engage with academics, early career and established researchers from all over the world to create new research networks and build on existing works as well as engage with and bring together stakeholders, i.e. policy makers, small and medium sized businesses and civil society groups, that have an interest in FTAs being negotiated in and by Asia, EU and America. Broadly the seminar series focuses on: first, understanding the rationales behind FTAs and how the EU, USA and Asian FTAs interact with one another; second, how FTAs under negotiation could affect the policy choices of governments and business environments around the globe; and third, gaining a comprehensive overview of how the move to common regulatory systems under bilateral FTAs are likely to determine future rules of global trade governance.Seminar 1 highlights the general trends in FTAs. Main issues for discussion include: rationale for growing FTAs, and the recent developments that provide momentum for countries to negotiate FTAs. How are the EU and USA driving FTA negotiations in Asia? What are the economic and social impacts of FTAs? Is the internal and external environment important in setting trade policy agenda? Are the dynamics of negotiations driven by constructivist or neo-realist framework of international relations? (Seminar venue: Keele)Seminar 2 looks at the EU's rationale for negotiating FTAs with Asia and USA. This includes a discussion on social, economic, political, geo-political and political economy aspects of FTAs, and how trading agreements are an integral part of 'Global Europe' strategy and foreign policy. (Seminar venue: London)Seminar 3 offers a comprehensive analysis of Asian FTAs, its rationale, and comments on factors that drive FTA negotiations in the region. This sheds light on the growing inter-linkages between Asian and European global production networks, and comments why India unlike (China and ASEAN) has not been able to benefit from regional value chains. It also addresses the questions as to how can Indian firms integrate into FTA production chain activity? (Seminar venue: New Delhi)Seminar 4 looks at the state of play of ongoing bilateral FTA talks between EU and USA. The seminars takes stock of the current state of negotiations and comments on contentious issues that have emerged in ongoing talks. This also examines how and why the Transatlantic Partnership is driven by aim of eventual regulatory convergence between the trading partners. (Seminar venue: Bath)Seminar 5 evaluates EU and US FTAs including those with Asian countries, commenting on areas of differences/commonalities in FTAs negotiated and the general move towards regulatory convergence/divergence. This provides a comprehensive, comparative and systematic research on the scope and enforceability of regulatory norms negotiated under FTAs. The seminar also highlights the importance of labour and social standards within FTAs and the relevance of addressing these issues within the context of global trade governance. (Seminar venue: Brussels)Seminar 6 examine the emerging dynamics of FTAs, debates whether such agreements can be a stepping stone to future multilateral liberalisation or whether this could lead to fragmentation in world trade. It also comments on what role the EU and USA play as global actors in shaping a functioning multilateral order. (Seminar venue: London)

该系列研讨会旨在通过提供一个跨学科的论坛，就以下问题进行辩论和讨论，以开展新的研究，建立网络，促进能力建设和用户参与：（a）通过自由贸易协定实现区域一体化的监管，经济和社会方面;（B）自由贸易协定给伙伴国家带来了什么;以及（c）欧盟，美国和亚洲自由贸易协定活动的现状。通过提供广泛的地理分布的研讨会，侧重于区域贸易协定的具体主题，其影响和走向共同监管框架，我们建议与来自世界各地的学者，早期职业和成熟的研究人员合作，建立新的研究网络，并在现有工作的基础上，以及与利益相关者，即政策制定者，中小企业和民间社会团体，对亚洲、欧盟和美国正在谈判的自由贸易协定感兴趣。研讨会的主要内容包括：第一，理解自由贸易协定背后的理论基础，以及欧盟、美国和亚洲自由贸易协定之间的相互作用;第二，谈判中的自由贸易协定如何影响地球仪各国政府的政策选择和商业环境;第三，全面了解双边自由贸易协定下的共同监管体系可能如何决定未来的全球贸易规则研讨会1强调了FTA的一般趋势。讨论的主要问题包括：增加自由贸易协定的理由，以及为各国谈判自由贸易协定提供动力的最近事态发展。欧盟和美国如何推动亚洲的自由贸易协定谈判？FTA的经济和社会影响是什么？在制定贸易政策议程时，内部和外部环境是否重要？谈判的动力是由国际关系的建构主义框架还是新现实主义框架驱动的？（研讨会地点：基尔）研讨会2探讨欧盟与亚洲和美国进行FTA谈判的理由。这包括讨论自由贸易协定的社会，经济，政治，地缘政治和政治经济方面，以及贸易协定如何成为“全球欧洲”战略和外交政策的一个组成部分。（研讨会地点：伦敦）研讨会3对亚洲FTA及其理由进行了全面分析，并对推动该地区FTA谈判的因素进行了评论。这揭示了亚洲和欧洲全球生产网络之间日益增长的相互联系，并解释了为什么印度与中国和东盟不同，未能从区域价值链中受益。它还解决了印度公司如何融入FTA生产链活动的问题？（研讨会地点：新德里）研讨会4着眼于正在进行的欧盟与美国双边FTA谈判的现状。研讨会评估了谈判的现状，并就正在进行的谈判中出现的有争议的问题发表了意见。本文还探讨了跨大西洋伙伴关系如何以及为什么是由贸易伙伴之间最终监管趋同的目标驱动的。（研讨会地点：研讨会5评估欧盟和美国的自由贸易协定，包括与亚洲国家的自由贸易协定，评论自由贸易协定谈判中的差异/共同点以及监管趋同/分歧的总体趋势。这提供了一个全面的，比较和系统的研究范围和自由贸易协定下谈判的监管规范的可接受性。研讨会还强调了自由贸易协定中劳工和社会标准的重要性，以及在全球贸易治理背景下解决这些问题的相关性。（研讨会地点：布鲁塞尔）研讨会6探讨了自由贸易协定的新兴动态，讨论了此类协定是否可以成为未来多边自由化的垫脚石，或者是否会导致世界贸易的分裂。它还评论了欧盟和美国作为全球行动者在塑造一个有效的多边秩序方面发挥的作用。（研讨会地点：伦敦）
