A Political Economy Analysis on Reasons of the Formation of FTAs of Nonneighborhood:A Thinking based on the Fact of the Quality of Governance

This paper firstly reviewed the establishment of China-Chile free-trade area. Then from a political economiy point of view, it finds that "quality of governance" is a factor affecting the formation of free trade agreements (FTA). "Quality of governance" can explain why more and more free trade areas between countries whose economic sizes differ a lot and who are not near in geography distance are established in recent years. According to a econometric analysis with a logit model, it shows that there is a positive relationship between the probability of FTA formation and the index which reflects "quality of governance". Therefore, it proves that governments with high quality of governance are prone to form FTA.
