Contributing AuthorsSummaryThis study begins with a motivation that both economic and non-economic effects should be considered in order to increase the feasibility of a Korea-U.S. FTA from the Korean perspective. This study also begins with a motivation to help successful Korea-U.S. FTA negotiations by writing the research in English. The English written study on the feasibility and economic effects of a Korea-U.S. FTA is expected to contribute to increasing the understanding of issues and effects of an FTA and to helping negotiators move along with efficient negotiations for the both countries.

Contributing AuthorsSummaryGrowing dependence on trade blocs in the global economy (creating more regionalism) puts pressure on Korea, whose international economic activities comprise more than 70 percent of its GDP, to create or join an active trade bloc. In other words, if Korea does not enter the global FTA network, Korea will face disadvantages. If Korea's major trading partners conclude FTAs with other nations and regions, Korean products will become relatively more expensive and lose price competitiveness in these markets because of the relatively higher tariff rates imposed on Korean products.

The phenomenon of bipolarization is a relatively new phenomenon, even in developed countries. Bipolarization has emerged as one of Korea's major problems, as its speed is unprecedentedand its scope is broad and comprehensive. In case of the United States, worsening income distribution has been observed, and the problem of poverty is now receiving special attention. (The rest is omitted.)< -

V. Conclusion and ImplicationSummaryKorea and ASEAN, aiming to conclude an FTA in 2006, began the first round of negotiations on February 22 to 25 and concluded the seventh round as of October11 to 14 in 2005. It is agreed that IPR is one of the remaining issues in negotiating economic cooperation between the two entities. Under worries that any positive effects of an FTA will be negated in the event of inadequate IPR protection, this paper analyzes the IPR policiesof ASEAN and its members, and draws implications for a Korea-ASEAN FTA.
