| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates the new policy shifts in Japan and South Korea with regard to the TPP. It highlighted factors responsible for Japan's shift away from WTO-based multilateralism towards a bilateralism focused on free trade agreements (FTAs). Notwithstanding this, more recent Japanese FTA policies can be described in terms of a new trend away from bilateral agreements towards a “regional multilateralism.” While in government, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) announced its intention to join the TPP, shifting its focus away from conventional bilateral agreements. Japanese trade policy thus appears to have developed a double-layered structure, moving from bilateral FTAs towards multiparty FTAs. Why has this occurred? This study discusses the process behind Japan's involvement in the partnership.It examines events leading up to the proposal for Japan to participate in the TPP and the factors that facilitated the TPP process.
