About the book

LECTURES ON KOREAN FTA

Korea has joined many types of multilateral international agreements and also have made several Free Trade Agreements(FTAs) with its major economic partners. Hypothetically, the Korean government believed that FTAs may be seen as an effective measure to seek and respond actively to the trend of Preferentialism in the late 1990s. Since then, the government has continued to promote its FTA policy and have improved in the related laws.

Into the book

ㆍ The Background of the Modern International Trade and Law

The Bretton Woods Conference of 1944 recognized the need for an international institution to regulate international trade as part of a larger plan for economic recovery aer World War II. Following World War II, nations throughout the world, led by the US and several other developed countries, sought to establish an open and non-discriminatory trading system with the goal of raising the economic well-being of all countries. Being aware of the role of trade barriers in contributing to the economic

depression during the 1930s, and the military aggression that rose following the depression, the countries that met to discuss the new trading system saw open trade as essential for economic stability and peace.

Then, the US proposed to enter into negotiations for an International Trade Organization (ITO) in 1945. e intent of the negotiators was to establish the ITO, which would address not only trade barriers but also other issues related to trade, including employment, investment, restrictive business practices, and commodity agreements. The Charter for the establishment of the ITO (the Havana Charter) set out the basic rules for international trade and economic matters. Under the Charter, the ITO was to be a United Nations specialized agency. e negotiations on the ITO Charter were completed in Havana in 1948. The negotiations on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade(GATT) also advanced well and the GATT was signed in 1947.

However, the ITO treaty was not approved by the US and a few other signatories and never went into eect. Instead, a provisional agreement on tariffs and trade rules (in other words, the GATT) was reached and went into eect in 1948. Countries had to try to handle the trade problems under the GATT 1947 without the ITO. This provisional GATT became the principal set of rules governing international trade for the next 47 years. Although it was not an organization, the GATT gradually became the focus for international governmental cooperation on trade matters. Therefore, the GATT system was the outcome of the failure of the ITO.
