Abstract
(Englisch)
This thesis deals with Japan and South Korea and their agricultural trade policies in terms of government intervention in protecting the agriculture industry. As agriculture is one of the most protected areas of trade, the two governments have heavily protected their agriculture, especially rice, even when its share of the overall economy has constantly declined.
Agriculture, in every sense of the word, is a much needed sector for our sustenance. Developed nations such as Japan and South Korea are no exception to the rules and have had protectionist policies to help the shrinking agricultural sector mainly for self-sufficiency and food security reasons.
However, in recent years, there are efforts to liberalise trade in both countries to meet the international standard which means some of these policies in place to protect domestic production, market, and labour are to be reformed. Both Japan and South Korea are member states of various international trade organizations and have signed numerous bilateral trade agreements as well as been engaged in bilateral and trilateral negotiations with neighbouring countries.
Agriculture sector remains highly important in a country’s economy however, ways to maintain production, market price, and consumer as well as producer satisfaction will face changes as further trade liberalisation demands compromises from each trading partner. Different trade theories across the spectrum have been dealt throughout the thesis for explaining the current situation of international trade as well as for developing a specific framework for argument for the sake of the research questions in this thesis.
