Free trade agreements significantly impact domestic policies by altering trade regulations, tariffs, and market accessibility. Such agreements aim to enhance economic cooperation between countries, often leading to increased trade flows and foreign investment. However, they can also challenge existing domestic industries, prompting policymakers to adjust labor standards, environmental regulations, and agricultural policies to remain competitive. The pressure to conform to international standards may lead to conflicts within domestic constituencies, requiring governments to balance economic benefits with social and environmental considerations in policymaking.
