Notes

  1. 1.

    See among others Hafner-Burton (2005) and Vogel (1995).

  2. 2.

    See Aggarwal (2001) and Pekkanen (forthcoming).

  3. 3.

    Also see Oye (1992).

  4. 4.

    Naturally, depending on the type of agreement and the length it has been in operation, all cases may not directly address these questions.

  5. 5.

    See also Arase (2010).

  6. 6.

    The KORUS FTA is another notable exception, but as Yamada argues, the labor and environment provisions in KORUS reflect US concerns, not those of South Korea.
