    Total pages:284   Language:English   Book type:Scholarly book

    In recent years, development policy has responded to an increasing concern about natural resource degradation by setting up innovative payment for environmental services (PES) programs in developing countries. PES programs use market and institutional incentives in order to meet both environmental and poverty alleviation objectives. However, their optimal design, implications for the rural poor, and how these initiatives integrate into international treaties on global warming and biodiversity loss are still being discussed. This book addresses these issues by scrutinizing analytical tools, providing policy insights and stimulating debate on linkages between poverty alleviation and environmental protection. In particular, it turns attention towards the role of environmental services in agricultural landscapes as they provide a living for many poor in developing countries. It serves as a valuable reference for academics and students in various disciplines, as well as for policy makers and advisors.

    This article aims to clarify the linkage between electoral rules and politicians' protectionist motives. Specifically, hypotheses on the positive impacts of the proportional representation formula and constituency size on candidates' attitudes toward the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) are tested by estimating an ordered probit model using survey data on Japan's national elections in 2012, 2013, and 2016. By extending the coverage to the upper house elections, this article adds value to the previous literature. The estimation results confirm that proportional representation formula and constituency size have a positive impact on candidates' support for the TPP in the lower house election in 2012, but have no influence in the upper house elections in 2013 and 2016. Moreover, constituency size is no longer significant once the sample is limited to single-member district candidates even in the 2012 lower house election. It is therefore concluded that, contrary to the previous literature, constituency size that manifests electoral incentives is not a notable cause of candidates' protectionist bias. In contrast, it is found that candidates' political ideology, such as their affinity for

    Japan made unprecedented concessions on rice market access in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement. It committed to establish the country-specific quotas (CSQs) for the US (70,000 t) and Australia (8,400 t), and to create a new category for medium-grain rice (60,000 t) in its existing WTO quota. Although this was the first-ever and only case of rice market opening in Japan's 17 FTAs to date, little attention is paid to it due to the subsequent US's withdrawal from the TPP. In light of the recent signing of the TPP-11 Agreement without the US and US's demand for a bilateral FTA with Japan however, Japan's rice concessions in the TPP is still worth to examine because these terms will serve as a starting point for the possible Japan-US negotiations over the former's rice market access. Against this background, this paper aims to assess impacts of Japan's rice commitments in the TPP on economic welfares both in Japan and the US.

    The paper's main findings are twofold. First, it shows, based on the thorough examination of Japan's import records and TPP's negotiation process, that an additional export potential for US rice is 130,000 tons at maximum rather than 70,000 tons wit

    This article aims to contribute to the emerging literature on the linkage between electoral rules and politicians' preferences for protectionism. Specifically, the two hypotheses on the positive impacts of the proportional representation formula and the broadness of constituency size on candidates' support for freer trade are tested through the estimation of econometric models using candidates' response to pre-election surveys on Japan's participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement for the lower house election in 2012 and the upper house elections in 2013 and 2016. By extending the coverage to the upper house elections in 2013 and 2016, this article adds value to the previous literature. First, although the proportional representation formula has indeed positive impacts on the candidates' attitudes toward the TPP in the lower house election in 2012, this does not necessarily mean that constituency size is the source for this difference. Second, the share of agricultural and manufacturing workers in each constituency affects candidates' preferences for the TPP in the lower house election but not in the upper house elections. Third, candidates' political ideology plays an important role in determining their attitudes toward the TPP across houses and elections.

    A Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement is currently under negotiation to create a trading bloc among 12 countries in the Asia-Pacific. While its participants were initially New Zealand, Singapore, Chile and Brunei, they expanded subsequently to include the United States and Japan. A TPP seeks to be a '21st century trade agreement' with elimination of tariffs and comprehensive rules on goods, services and intellectual property, but it generates controversy in existing and potential entrants in the negotiations. Against this background, my presentation addresses the following questions: (i) why has the TPP succeeded in expanding despite the fact that its original members were all tiny countries? (ii) why is the participation to the TPP negotiations so controversial not only in Japan but also other countries? (iii) what will be the impacts of tariff elimination on Japanese food and agriculture under the TPP? (iv) what will be the prospect of concluding negotiations in the near term?

    This paper aims to evaluate as to whether Japan's quest for tighter disciplines on food export restrictions in trade negotiations is successful by taking the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) as a case in point. The answer is "no" since a "best endeavor" clause not to institute food export restrictions in the JAEPA are weaker than Japan's proposals in the WTO and similar provisions in the regional trade agreements concluded by European countries. Japan's real objectives of demanding tighter disciplines were not to secure stable imports but to contain exporting countries externally and to sell politicians unpopular trade agreements internally.

    In this study, the originally planned research method became difficult to implement due to the US withdrawal from the TPP agreement. Therefore, I estimated an order probit model that uses candidates’ attitude toward the TPP in the 2012, 2013 and 2016 elections as dependent variables, and the various factors suggested by previous literature as independent variables in order to identify the factors conditioning candidates’ pros and cons of the TPP. As a result of the analysis, it was found that, while the election system was by no means statistically significant and the attributes of electorates were not significant in many cases, the political beliefs of individual candidates (affinity to agriculture and Asia, animosity to small governments and immigrants, etc.) as well as the attributes of individual candidates (especially affiliated political parties) were significantly affect the pros and cons of the TPP.
