Trade agreements can significantly affect national politics by reshaping economic relations and altering the political landscape. By facilitating trade and investment, these agreements often lead to job creation in certain sectors while potentially displacing workers in others, generating public debate and political contention. Furthermore, trade agreements might lead to the formation of new coalitions among interest groups advocating for or against specific provisions. Politicians may leverage these agreements to gain favor with voters, influencing party platforms and creating opportunities for reforms that impact domestic governance and international relations.
