Abstract:

This paper compares the Korea and Mexico's at two different instances within their integration into the global political economy and the differential resulting labor related outcomes: during free trade negotiations with the US and during discussions surrounding entrance into the OECD. While a significant labor social side agreement was included in NAFTA but not the Korea-US FTA, Korea's entrance negotiations into the OECD led to the only special labor monitoring regime for a new member state, while Mexico's entrance did not. I argue that broad based, united civil society based political strength on the side of the stronger bargaining parties is necessary for the establishment of social and labor conditionally in these cases. In the case of Mexico's NAFTA negotiations, the broader based US domestic networks, outside of a traditional labor union network, plus the constituent basis of President Clinton, led to the social side agreement, while the strong OECD members' coalitions regarding Korean labor market shortcomings, strengthened by transnational demand, led to the labor monitoring regime in Korea.
