International Trade Agreement Politics: A Comparative Analysis
Keywords:
Geopolitics, International Trade Agreements, NAFTA/USMCAAbstract
This study aims to analyze the politics of international trade agreements through a comparative analysis approach to three major agreements: NAFTA/USMCA, the European Union, and RCEP. In the context of ever-evolving globalization, trade agreements not only serve as tools to boost economic growth, but also reflect the political dynamics and national interests of each country. The research methods used include qualitative analysis of case studies and review of relevant literature. The results show that national interests, geopolitical influences, industry lobbying, and domestic politics significantly influence the negotiation process and final outcomes of trade agreements. In the context of NAFTA/USMCA, the United States prioritizes the protection of domestic industries, while the European Union emphasizes collective stability among member states. On the other hand, RCEP illustrates China's strategy to expand its economic influence in the Asian region. This study concludes that the success of international trade agreements is not only determined by economic aspects, but also by the complex interaction between domestic political and geopolitical factors.
