项目摘要

Research project on regulatory coherence in Free Trade Agreements. The researcher will undertake qualitative research on the implementation of FTA chapters addressing regulatory coherence, focusing on the EU-Japan EPA, CPTPP, CETA and USMCA. These chapters establish obligations to discuss strategies for bridging the gap between the Parties' regulations. They have been characterised in academic literature as a force for overcoming regulatory barriers and a means for the US and EU to consolidate global influence through influencing other countries' regulatory processes, but very little empirical research has been undertaken to test these hypotheses.In both cases, the PhD research will draw from desk-based analysis of FTA regulatory coherence/cooperation texts as well as publicly-available reports from meetings of relevant FTA committees, academic articles, OECD literature on regulatory cooperation, reports by international organisations. It will also encompass qualitative interviews with government officials and regulators, business representatives and civil society stakeholders, drawing from the extensive contacts of the supervisors. The PhD research will help to shed light on the project's core research aims: assessing the impact and utilisation of these chapters in practice, the effectiveness with which they achieve their stated aims, and the extent to which they suppress and/or magnify particular stakeholder influence.

自由贸易协定中的监管连贯性研究项目。研究人员将对针对监管连贯性的FTA章节的实施进行定性研究，重点介绍EU-JAPAN EPA，CPTPP，CETA，CETA和USMCA。这些章节规定了讨论弥合双方法规之间差距的策略的义务。它们在学术文献中的特征是克服监管障碍的力量，也是美国和欧盟通过影响其他国家的监管过程来巩固全球影响力的手段，但是几乎没有进行经验研究来检验这些假设。在这两种情况下，从基于DESB的案例中，来自Desk Conipation/Compublics copmulation Crosiperation-Compuline and Compublics and-Compuline and Compuly and Compuly and Compucyers-ava-n.国际组织的报告，委员会，学术文章，经合组织文献。它还将涵盖与政府官员，监管机构，商业代表和民间社会利益相关者的定性访谈，从主管的广泛联系中得以实现。博士研究将有助于阐明该项目的核心研究目的：评估这些章节在实践中的影响和利用，他们实现其既定目标的有效性以及抑制和/或放大特定利益相关者影响的程度。
