15 Domestic politics of JK FTA - Putnam s Two-level game - Korean government Japanese government Level I game Level II game domestic groups Level I game is to bargain with foreign trade partners, leading to a tentative agreement. Diplomacy Level II game is to negotiate domestically with various interest groups. To persuade domestic constituencies to ratify the tentative agreement ement Domestic politics 15
16 Two Level Game in JK FTA Congress Interest groups Level II game Japanese gov. Level I game Korean gov. Level II game Congress Interest groups Hard domestic politics Failure of concession making Game (No win-set) Hard domestic politics Political & Historical Issues 16
17 R. Strauss - STR, Tokyo Round - As an US ambassador of STR, I spent as much time in negotiation with domestic constituents(labor Union, Industry etc.) and the US congress as I did negotiating with our trading partners. 17
18 Four determinants of domestic politics Nature of negotiation issues Reaction of domestic interest groups Politicization Political leadership 18
19 1. Nature of negotiation issues Interests of Interest groups Homogeneous * Peace treaty between North South Korea Heterogeneous Level II game (domestic politics) not so difficult difficult Winners - exporting industries Losers - import import-competing industries (declining industries) Clear distinction between winner groups and loser groups in Japan and Korea 19
20 Korea Japan Loser Winner very heterogeneous Employees in parts & components (1.1 mil., 46% of the whole manufacturing employment) SME( 中小企業 ) (33,282firms, 30 % of the whole manufacturing) Farmers heterogeneous Farmers Manufacturing 20
21 2. Reaction of domestic interest groups Symmetry of political reaction not so difficult Losers and winners : same political reaction NAFTA Union NGOs Political reaction US Political support Business -endorse group More political donation to pro NAFTA politicians than con-nafta 21
22 22
23 Asymmetry Losers Korea Losers strong political reaction labor unions SME Winners free-riding riding difficult Japan strong political reaction farmers free-riding riding Korea-Chile FTA Farmers association Political reaction Korean government Free- riding Big business 23
24 3. Political issues Not political issues Korea Singapore Korea - EFTA Political issues Indifferent NGOs easy Korea AEAN difficult Politicians * The JK FTA will become excessively delicate political issues because it is expected to injure the interest of socially weak group like - Japan : farmers - Korea : small business, labor unions 24
25 4. Political leadership It seems that politicians, who have to also count the votes of farmers and labor unions, will not exercise strong political leadership Japan : Prime Minister Korea : President - Clinton s s political leadership in the ratification of NAFTA 25
26 New Agenda - Mid-level FTA as an Ice-breaker - 1. Mid FTA as Second Best 2. New Geo-political landscape in East Asia 3. US-Korea FTA 26
27 1. Mid-level FTA as Second-Best 27
28 Economic effect, feasibility and WTO-consistency Type of integration Deep integration consistency Quality of FTA High- level FTA Mid-level FTA Effect Feasibility High Low WTO- Consistent Average Average Consistent Shallow integration Low-level FTA Low High Non- consistent 28
29 WTO s substantially all the trade (GATT XXIV-8) Low level FTA : not accepted by WTO Two Two FTA policy options Option I - High level FTA in long perspectives aiming at its maximum effect Option II - Mid-level FTA in near future with its low effect 29
30 Mid-level FTA as Second-Best Significantly exclude the sensitive items from the JK FTA as long as this significant exception is not against the WTO 30
31 Mid-level FTAs US-Australia FTA Exception : Sugar, dairy products (partly) EU-Mexico (Chile) FTA Tariff elimination of 58% Agricultural products Singapore-India FTA 51% of two Countries bilateral trade China-ASEAN ASEAN FTA Exception (Agricultural products) : Cambodia 30 items, Vietnam items 31
32 2. New Geopolitical landscape in East Asia - Emergence of the Greater Chinese Economic Zone- 中華經濟圈 32
33 China s s FTA Policy 南方政策 中華經濟圈 FTA(2010) Greater Chinese Economic Zone ASEAN 400 mil. Oversea Chinese 10% population 60% economic power 33

40 Anti-KORUS FTA in US 40
41 Cautious Forecast Domestic Politics In Korea Political issues Political leadership in Korea and US Korea : Very fierce political reaction US : US congress Very hard and thrilling concession-making game. 41
42 Win-set game for Mid-level JK FTA More realistic negotiation strategy based on hard domestic politics in both Countries Win-set game for Mid-level FTA 42
43 Basic Role of win-set Size of Japanese(Korean) ) government s s win- set is decided by level Ⅱgame (political reaction of interest groups) When Japanese and Korean government s win-sets overlap FTA agreement 43
44 Win-set Game 日本 win-set(50% 農産品 ) 韓國 win-set(50% 工産品 ) 日本 win-set(100% 農産品 ) 韓國 win-set(100% 工産品 ) Japan max 100% 工産品 0% 農産品 日本 win-set(70% 農産品 ) 韓國 win-set(70% 工産品 ) Korea max 0% 工産品 100% 農産品 Agree 日本利益極大化協商案 韓國利益極大化協商案 44
