This study provides trade negotiators, policy-makers and other stakeholders with a clear, practical comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the various safeguard clauses included in bilateral and regional free trade agreements (FTAs). It groups together regional agreements on the basis of shared characteristics, examines the extent to which various safeguard clauses have been used in practice, and makes a number of recommendations that policy-makers and negotiators could take into consideration when negotiating safeguard clauses in trade agreements.
