Recently, the Trump administration initiated a new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that strengthened NAFTA's rules of origin to enhance protectionism while maintaining the framework of trade agreements rather than completely abolishing them. This study focuses on the behavior of firms motivated to influence the government to practice protectionist trade by analyzing the rules of origin verification and adopting the political economics model. This paper explains the process of endogenous determination of the stringency of rules of origin verification as a non-tariff barrier using the lobbying model. Comparative static analysis shows that the more efficient technology a domestic firm has and the more government prefers to raise political contribution, the more is verification likely to be strict. This suggests that a rationale exists to maintain a free trade agreement in the form of the new agreement (USMCA) without abolishing the current NAFTA regime.

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the impact and determinants of bilateral Free Trade Agreements on international total bulk shipment trade volume at the port of Korea using the Panel Gravity Model. The model estimates the aggregated panel data of exports and imports (excluding transshipment) as a dependent variable during the period from 1996 to 2015. GDP, GDP per capita, distances between bilateral countries, and FTA dummies are included as independent variables. And the economic integration of FTAs including ASEAN+3 and NAFTA3 countries were used as dummy variables. Study results show that GDP and GDP per capita have positive impacts on bulk shipment trade volume at the port of Korea. In addition, Korea's bilateral FTAs with Singapore, India and the United States have positive effects on total bulk trade volume in Korea. This is the so called trade creation effect. On the other hand, ASEAN+3 and NAFTA have negative effects on the total bulk trade. This is the so called trade diversion effect. Also, the distance between Korea and its trade partners has a negative impact. These findings provide insights for: further academic research, site operators who work in related trade and maritime sectors, and policy makers engaged in port and maritime operations. The results can be used to develop strategies for maximizing bulk port throughput.

This paper presents several important status and strategic rotes for APEC Engineer Framework. Every technologies and engineering services are opened to the world and freely competed under WTO system after 1995. Most developed economics have been organized and coordinated each other within the common economic zone, such as EU, NAFTA for the mutual recognition agreement for professional engineers . Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Engineers ( APEC Engineers) has been organizing to proceed the mutual recognition agreement for professional engineers among the Asia and Pacific economic including Korea from 1996. Therefore, Korean government and civil organization, such as KPEA must monitor and investigate the activities and managements of APEC Engineers.

Textile industry of Korea has been assumed advanced textile industry nation's aspects with production system and equipment. But has been descended in the sector of design, brand, recognition comparing with Italy, Japan, England. And products of middle and low price do not have competitiveness against China, South East Asia. The world's textile industry nation has been confronted with Free Trade, and Regional Trade Blocks. New market has been opened with free Trade, but Trade Blocks(NAFTA, EU, APEC etc.) which encourage regional member country's profit maximize made textile export driven nation to consider strategies to cope with. Advanced textile industry nation divided the work among themselves and composed linking system among them which highly valuable products are manufactured at advanced nation and low price products are manufactured by global outsourcing. The purpose of this study is to analyze impact of process which requires to secure international competitiveness into business performance experimentally.

기술의 발전과 함께 경제적 측면에서 전기통신은 사회기반구조의 중추적인 일부로 자리잡고 있으며, 궁극적으로는 전세계적인 단일 통신시장이라는 기치아래 각국의 통신시장 개방요구가 점차 확산되고 있다. 이와 맥을 같이 하여 가장 큰 시장을 형성하는 서비스의 최종이용자 장치 즉 단말장치에 대한 규제가 완화되어가고 있는 등 통신시장은 세계화 추세에 있다. 이의 일환으로 자국의 통신질서 유지를 위해 적용되고 있는 단말장치 형식승인제도에 대해 양국 또는 다국간의 국제적 차원에서 상호 공통으로 적용가능한 상호인증제도를 위한 전략수립에 비중을 두고 활동이 전개되고 있다. 본고는 우리나라 전기통신과 깊은 관계를 유지하고 있는 미국 중심의 북미자유무역협정(NAFTA) 체결국중에서 최근 신전기통신법 통과로 관심을 모으고 있는 캐나다에 대해 인증절차와 인증 기술기준 등을 포함한 형식승인제도 전분야를 분석하고 향후 수립될지 모르는 캐나다와의 상호인증을 위한 기초자료로 활용코자 한다.

This study aims at presenting the suggestion for the Korea to make the FTA's rules of origin with Japan and other countries by analyzing JSEPA's rules of origin. It was founded by the investigation of JSEPA's rules of origin, most of the provisions are similar with other FTA's for instance NAFTA, but a little provisions different from other FTA's. It is an appearance from the contracting party's peculiar circumstances such as state of industrial development or future prospect, conditions around international trade. Then, the Korean government have to form and support a commission of FTA from various circles. In that case the commission will mediate conflict and disharmony. Moreover the commission may consider in all FTA's aspects including rules of origin. Consequently Korea will and should have criterions about the rules of origin allowing for peculiar circumstances of Korean economy and international trade.

The present world economic powers are divided into three major economic blocks such as EU, NAFTA and North - east Asian Region. In N-E Asian Region, Beijing. Seoul, Tokyo and Shanghai are already bridged economically forming transaction belt with the population of seven hundred million people around the belt. The countries as China, Mongol far - east Russia are rich in natural resources. on the other hand Korea and Japan are superior in technological know-how than that of communist and socialist countries. If we try to be eager to join together with the resource rich countries to the countries of technological know - how as Korea and Japan. The North - east Asian region will be jumping up to the most prosperous and super economic power in the coming years in 2040-2050.
