  • An Appraisal of the Labor Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Remarks Submitted to the Committee on Ways and Means Democra
    An Appraisal of the Labor Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Remarks Submitted to the Committee on Ways and Means Democrats by Steve Charnovitz* January 2016 1. The Labour chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the most progressive set of labor obligations ever to be negotiated in a free trade agreement. 2. The TPP is an enhanced second-generation worker rights chapter in a free trade agreement (FTA): -- In the first generation of worker rights, US FTAs incorporated the labor principles and labor rights of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration of 1998, yet did so only with a soft obligation.1 The US trading partners were Australia, Bahrain, Central America/Dominican Republic, Chile, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, and Singapore. Those agreements also included an obligation not to fail to enforce domestic labor laws in a manner affecting trade between the parties.2 This obligation grew out of a similar formulation in the labor side accord to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). -- The May 10, 2007 Bipartisan Trade Deal ushered in the second generation of worker rights in FTAs through a hard obligation to "adopt and maintain" in domestic law the fundamental rights enshrined in the ILO Declaration.3 This was the template used in the US FTAs with Colombia, Korea, Panama, and Peru. These FTAs also contain a commitment not to waive or derogate from regulations implementing these international rights. The significance of the second generation of FTA-related worker rights can be understood by looking at what it adds to the underlying regime of international labor law.

The Trump Administration is carrying out a new form of American rejectionism powered by four horsemen of economic instability: first, the rejection of the international rule of law; second, the rejection of open markets; third, the rejection of economic peace in favour of perpetual economic war; and fourth, the rejection of the global interest. The analysis herein shows how these four rejectionist policies are harming the United States, other countries, and the global order.

A WTO if you can keep it Steve Charnovitz* 1. The place of the WTO in international economic law In September 1787, the inventor and free trader Benjamin Franklin emerged from the convention in Philadelphia that had just completed drafting the United States (US) Constitution. A lady awaiting outside the State House approached Franklin to ask whether the convention had cre- ated a republic or a monarchy. Whereupon Franklin replied, ‘A republic if you can keep it.’1 In 1994, when the drafting of the WTO was com- pleted in Marrakesh, I am not aware that anyone in the crowd waiting outside asked European Trade Minister Leon Brittan what form of inter- national trade governance had been created.

The (Neglected) Employment Dimension of the World Trade Organization Steve Charnovitz* A key assumption underlying the World Trade Organization (WTO) is that its program of trade negotiations will “strengthen the world economy and lead to more trade, investment, employment and income growth throughout the world.”1 Indeed, that was the first point included in the Marrakesh Declaration of April 1994 that consummated the Uruguay Round and established the WTO. In my view, the WTO truly is strengthening the “world economy”2 and promoting trade and investment in many parts of the world.3 Yet the rest of the thesis is debatable. Is it necessarily

June 20 + Oct. 1, 2004 “Kyoto and Geneva: Linkage of the Climate Change Regime and the Trade Regime” Jeffrey Frankel, Harpel Professor, Harvard University Broadening Climate Discussion: The Linkage of Climate Change to Other Policy Areas conference organized by FEEM/MIT Venice, Italy, June 2004 The author would like to thank Joe Aldy, Thomas Brewer, and Steve Charnovitz for exceptionally useful comments on an earlier draft, Maral Shamloo for research assistance, and the Savitz Fund for research support. Abstract The multilateral regime to address the problem of global climate change is manifest in the Kyoto Protocol, negotiated in that city in 1997, and likely soon to enter into force. The multilateral regime to address international trade is manifest in the World Trade Organization, established in Geneva in 1995. Are these two regimes likely to come into conflict? This short paper considers some of the potential conflicts, and also some of the potential complementarities. The overall picture is more optimistic than some pro- environment critics of the WTO fear. “Kyoto and Geneva: Linkage of the Climate Change Regime and the Trade Regime” Jeffrey Frankel Global Climate Change (GCC) policy is a large and complicated subject.

  • The World Trade Organization in 2020
    TRADE 167 The World Trade Organization in 2020 STEVE CHARNOVITZ* The inauguration of a new international journal and the commencement of the second decade of the World Trade Organization (WTO) together provide an opportunity to reflect on the WTO’s legacy and its future. Government policies are always experiments, as Jan Tumlir explained.1 To date, the experiment of the WTO has achieved success beyond the expectation of many observers. What lies ahead? The leading international trade law casebook admits that ‘[i]t is hard to tell what may happen in the future.’2 Still, we should try to discern the horizon as part of our efforts to improve future conditions in international economic governance.3 This article proceeds in three parts. Part I examines the trends and tensions influencing the WTO today. Part II offers two scenarios for the WTO circa the year 2020.4 I start with a pessimistic scenario and then present an optimistic scenario as seen from the future. Part III concludes with a forecast and some recommendations. I THE WTO OF 2005: KEY FEATURES AND TRENDS The WTO today stands as a central institution of international law and international economic relations. This status might not be so surprising * George Washington University Law School, Washington, D.C. The author wishes to thank two anonymous referees for helpful comments. 1 Jan Tumlir, Economic Policy as a Constitutional Problem, Occasional Paper 70 (London: Institute of Economic Affairs, 1984) at 18. 2 John H.
