A tanulmány célja a közelmúltban aláírt Regionális Átfogó Gazdasági Partnerség- (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership – RCEP) egyezmény bemutatása és elemzése. A tágan értelmezett előzmények között röviden ismerteti a Transzatlanti Kereskedelmi és Befektetési Partnerség (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership – TTIP), a Transz-csendes-óceáni Partnerség (Trans-Pacific Partnership – TPP) és az Átfogó és Előremutató Csendes-óceáni Partnerség (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership – CPTPP) létrejöttének körülményeit is. Ezek a törekvések elválaszthatatlanok attól a ténytől, hogy a Kereskedelmi Világszervezet (World Trade Organization – WTO) 1995. évi megalapítása óta képtelen volt bármilyen fontos sokoldalú megállapodás elérésére, a Vitarendezési Testület tagjainak elmaradt jelölése következtében immár teljesen működésképtelenné vált. Az RCEP (a CPTPP-vel együtt) Ázsia és a csendes-óceáni térség további felértékelődését, ugyanakkor az USA befolyásának gyengülését jelzi a régióban.

In his thoughtful article, Joost Pauwelyn poses a perplexing question: How can it be that trade and investment are converging in their substantive “legal orders,” but diverging in terms of perceived legitimacy? Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), he argues, is in a “state of crisis” whereas World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement is generally regarded as “successful.” Pauwelyn’s provocative and counter-intuitive explanation for this paradox focuses on the apparent differences between the pool of decision-makers in each regime: WTO disputes are resolved by nameless, faceless, panel-inexperienced bureaucrats who often lack legal training, whereas “investment arbitrators are typically high-powered, elite jurists” with more expertise and experience than their WTO counterparts.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) presents strong potential to mold regional trade and investment patterns well into the future and to influence the direction of global economic cooperation at a challenging time. This paper evaluates the RCEP’s impact on global and regional incomes, trade, economic structure, factor returns, and employment using a computable general equilibrium model. The results suggest that the RCEP agreement could generate sizable global income gains. Together with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement on Trans-Pacific Partnership, the RCEP will also strengthen the region’s manufacturing supply chains, raising productivity and increasing wages and employment.

Globalization is viewed not only as the objective, but also as the subjective process, the current version of which requires adjustments since it is characterized by the increasing inequalities and instability, causing conflicts worldwide, pushing regional groups towards confrontations.
