| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research addresses the effects of soft law and examines its mechanism to affect domestic policies and laws. The research consists of (1) building a theoretical framework on the analysis of soft law and (2) conducting empirical research that traces how soft law actually influences and brings changes in domestic policies and laws.
In the theoretical framework, IR theories of "legalization" and "new modes of governance" had important implications on the functions and roles of soft law. The empirical research part took up the case of GLOBALG.A.P., one of the private food safety standards. The research analyzed how GLOBALG.A.P., originated from Europe, proliferated and internalized (effectively or not) in Japan, the US, and Thailand.
