Projectomschrijving

In 2001, The Eu committed itself te incorporate social norms in its trade agreements with third wountries. However, the socialambition of EU trade agreements negotiated since then varies substantially. This leads us to our two research questions: (1) to what extent do EU trade agreements incorporate social norms? And (2) how can the observed variation be explained?
