Trade agreements increasingly include disciplines aimed at achieving non-trade objectives: promoting foreign direct investment, technology transfers, and workers’ movement, but also improving labour conditions and environmental quality and achieving other broader social goals. This column introduces a new eBook that investigates whether these disciplines actually achieve their intended goals.
