| Summary/Abstract |
The recent proliferation of free-trade agreements drew the attention of the general public to their socio-economic effects on the local community. A common misunderstanding among the general public and firms is that, when an FTA is signed by their domestic government with a partner, the goods produced by their domestic firms will benefit automatically from preferential access to the partner’s market. However, this is not the case. This is where the rules of origin come into play. After reviewing the concept of the rules of origin, we will investigate them in the context of the EU–Japan relations, drawing on three cases: (i) the decision of Japanese firms to invest in Europe in the 1980s, (ii) the rules of origin in the EU–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, and (iii) how the rules of origin between the UK and the EU following BREXIT could affect Japanese investment in Europe.

| Summary/Abstract |
One crucial importance of President Ronald Reagan’s Pakistan policy that could never be ignored was Pakistan’s successful quest for a nuclear weapon capability. For a number of reasons, U.S. nonproliferation legislation and the Administration’s diplomatic efforts tended to focus primarily on Pakistan, rather than India or China, the latter of which is already recognized as a legitimate nuclear weapon state under the NPT.
