본 연구는 FTA의 효과를 극대화하는 데 있어, 무역자유화의 이익을 침해하지 않으며, 동시에 환경보호를 달성하기 위한 환경규정의 제정방향에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 FTA체제하에서의 무역자유화와 환경보호 달성을 위한 환경규정의 제정방향은 크게 세 가지로 요약해 볼 수 있다. 첫째는 FTA협정문상의 환경기준을 적용하는 데 있어서는 새로운 환경기준을 적용하기 보다는 기존의 있는 환경기준을 적용하여 환경협상력을 강화하고 교묘하게 운영되는 환경보호조치를 축소하기 위한 노력을 기울여야 한다. 둘째로 FTA 체결국간에 논란의 여지가 많은 것에 대해서는 보다 엄격한 환경관련 규정을 적용하거나 현행 WTO규정 및 다자간환경협약을 그대로 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 보여진다. 셋째는 FTA를 통한 환경기술이나 제품에 대한 적극적인 교류를 확대할 수 있는 규범 제정이 필요하다. 마지막으로 환경과 관련한 실체적 규범과 절차적 규범에 대한 명확한 제정이 이루어져서 오염행위나 환경마찰에 대하여 신속하고 객관적인 이행이 보장되도록 해야 한다.

2012년에 한미 FTA가 발효되었으며 콘텐츠산업분야에서 역대 FTA 중 가장 많은 부분에서 시장개방이 이루어졌다고 평가받고 있다. 본 연구는 한미 FTA 체결에 따른 콘텐츠산업분야의 시장개방 효과의 하나로 수출입 효과를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 이는 정책적으로는 한류로 대표되는 한국 콘텐츠산업의 대외경쟁력이 FTA와 어느 정도 연관성이 있는 것인지에 대한 의미있는 해석을 도출한다. 이를 위해 1차적으로는 ANOVA 분석을 통해 평균적인 FTA 효과 유무를 추정하고, 이후 다른 요인들이 통제된 후 직접적인 FTA 효과 추정을 위해 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 한미 FTA로 인해 미국산 콘텐츠가 국내 시장을 잠식할 것이라는 우려와는 달리, 콘텐츠 수입측면에서는 통계적으로 유의한 변화가 발생하지 않았다. 콘텐츠 수출은 한 미 FTA협정 발효 후에 오히려 증가하여 대미 수출액에 통계적 유의미한 변화가 있었지만 한 미 FTA체결에 따른 효과가 아니라 그 외적인 변수들로 인해 수출액이 증가했다는 해석이 회귀분석을 통해 알 수 있었다. 실제 한 미 FTA협정의 콘텐츠산업 분야에서의 시장개방의 하나인 외국제작물의 편성비율 조정이 별다른 의미를 갖지 못했고 국내 제작물의 편성비율이 오히려 증가한 것을 보면 국내 콘텐츠의 전체적인 시장경쟁력이 높아졌고, 그 결과로 대미 수출이 증가한 것으로 볼 수 있다.

In the environment of protectionism and bilateral trade agreements, Korea has promoted the conclusion of FTAs for its export-oriented trading policy, and 16 FTAs have entered into force at present. The main goal of this paper is to introduce the ISI system and its benefits and to extend the preferential rule of origin regime by using the Integrated Sourcing Initiative in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. The ISI illustrates with impressive clarity the fact that it considered as a tool of expanding the geographic limit of states and maximizing the global sourcing strategy of multinational corporations, allowing the developing countries to gain access to the market of developed ones that avoid the complexity and costs of many rules of origin regimes. This paper utilizes the literature research and analyzes a case study of FTAs which have adopted the ISI system. In conclusion, it presents several implications of additional measures to satisfy rules of origin in Korea's existing FTAs relating to the global supply chain strategy.

Companies do not be resolved by the FTA services of external aid should be operational by assigning dedicated personnel inside the company. FTA is a choice, not an essential trade agreement requirements. If the exporter contracts to provide a certificate of origin in trade agreements, it shall issue a certificate of origin of goods originating management is performed. When considering the future trend of spreading wide FTA, it should be extended to one year to take advantage of the FTA Certificate of Origin environments utilizing a comprehensive environment for regional countries that require proof of origin between certain countries, such as current. FTA utilization of the future is to utilize the GVC(Global Value Chain) efficiently. In other words, the expansion of the consumer market and take advantage of an efficient production base across borders. These environmental changes are needed development of the FTA utilization promotion and FTA experts. The experts studying how to procure raw materials or intermediate goods exports in a variety of regional foreign countries, to meet the rules of origin is required for a successful FTA utilization. One of the objectives of Origin managers are qualified experts in the country of origin can take advantage of the FTA plan. Therefore, managers of origin shall collect their ability to expand the understanding and information about the industry as an international business perspective beyond the Certificate of Origin. In addition, it should be in their best learning expertise for the introduction and development of country of origin control system in an effort to effectively perform its international FTA utilization. Once the FTA is more widespread in the future and build a common origin information it must not be disconnected until the export enterprises from terminal manufacturers systematically. Therefore origin management is preferred by expanding the knowledge base of teaching and learning in the common sense to the universal subject of specialization from professional schools to promote the relevant departments so that they can be opened in a college or university. An FTA hub linking East and West, also need the confidence that in order to become a center of Glabal Supply Chain Using an FTA Certificate of Origin and stable environment for importers to import products from the country offers. Certificate of Origin and all of them thoroughly exporters and companies related to the administration of origin and should create an atmosphere that can effectively respond to the origin verification. Korea shall endeavor to elicit a geopolitical value (FTA Hub), as well as securing a competitive advantage in the global industry leverage, trading at a reasonable price competitive products thereby enhancing production and economic growth through the FTA.

The objective of this article is to examine the characteristic features of contemporary policy-led regionalism in Asia. It identifies the positive and negative features associated with the free trade agreements that have proliferated in Asia during the first decade of the $21^{st}$ century. There has been a marked transformation in Asia's regional architecture in a short span of a decade-and-a-half. The mode and conduct of multilateral trade has been significantly transformed during recent years and Asia could not possibly remain immune to this transformation. The importance of regionalism in multilateral trade has increased steadily. In addition, the trade-investment-services nexus has developed and grown increasingly important. As business firms now manufacture parts of their products across the border, bilateral trade agreements (BTAs), regional trade agreements (RTAs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) of the contemporary period need to take into account the new kind of trade barriers that have been created due to the changing mode of trade. The contemporary regional agreements need to be designed to facilitate the new modes of conducting business and trade. It was understood rather late in Asia that the 'WTO-Plus' FTAs are more functional and result-oriented than their predecessors.

As in some developing countries and more recently some developed countries worldwide and in the Asian region, Australia has faced significant internal opposition and public debate especially over treaty-based investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). As outlined in Part II(1), concerns have re-emerged and escalated since the first-ever claim was brought against Australia regarding its tobacco plain packaging legislation, in 2011 by Philip Morris Asia under an old BIT with Hong Kong. However, Australia signed bilateral FTAs with Korea in 2014 and with China in 2015, including ISDS protections, prompting several sets of parliamentary inquiries (Part II(2)). Australia's close trading partner, New Zealand, had already concluded an FTA with China in 2008 that included more expansive ISDS-backed investor protections. In 2015, the New Zealand Parliament has been debating ratification of its own FTA with Korea, with ISDS also now attracting growing scrutiny, as elaborated in Part III below. In both bilateral FTA negotiations, the present Korean government seems to have reverted to a strong preference for concluding investment agreements with extensive ISDS protections, despite public and parliamentary debate around 2011 in the context of ratifying its FTA with the United States. As mentioned briefly in the concluding Part IV, Korea's stance has significant implications for the future trajectory of treaty-based ISDS - and indeed international arbitration more generally - in the Asia-Pacific region, and perhaps even globally.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the economic effects of FTAs using the concept of value-added exports. So far, the economic effects of FTAs have been dependent on decrease in import prices due to tariff cuts in importing countries, but the actual tariff reduction need to consider the value added of the exporting countries. Design/methodology - Value-added export refers to the added value created in the exporting country out of total exports. Among value-added exports, direct value-added export is interpreted as the Regional Value Contents (RVC), from which the economic effect of the FTA can be analyzed. A modified GTAP-VA model takes into account RVC in order to estimate accurate effects of FTAs. Findings - By the re-evaluation of the FTA based on the RVC, this paper makes it clear that the economic effects of the existing FTA methodology have the possibility of overestimation. In addition, as a new FTA with a strengthened Rules of Origin (ROO) is being initiated, a negative impact on international trade and GVC utilization may occur. Originality/value - This study introduces the concept of value-added export in analyzing the effects of FTAs. The new analysis methodology of this paper emphasizes the importance of value-added exports. Re-organization of GVCs would change regional trade agreements and empower ROO by weakening existing GVCs and transforming the value chain from global into regional scope.

This study aims to quantify the value of origin among CPTPP and Korea, under the assumption that the 'cumulation' clause has large economic effects in multilateral FTAs and increase the possibility of improving FTA utilization. Analysing the relationship between value-added exports and FTA utilization rate, there is a positive correlation between the two variables, and the cumulation of multilateral production of CPTPP is expected to increase Korea's value-added exports. In the GTAP-VA model, the target of cumulation is calculated as 'Domestic Value Added', and all value-added of CPTPP are cumulated in the form of value added exports of exporting country. When Korea participates in CPTPP, it is possible to cumulate additional 6.3~9.6% value added, and the agreements with low FTA export utilization rates such as New Zealand, ASEAN would have greater economic effects of cumulation. For the successful implementation of CPTPP in Korea, it is necessary to develop a new origin verification system that enables multilateral value-added cumulation. It is time to seek cooperation with countries currently participating in CPTPP to prove the value added inherent in CPTPP-originating products.
