In an era of globalization, the key to understanding domestic policy changes is through the lens of policy interdependence. In accord with the notion of the race to the bottom (explicitly or implicitly), a large body of literature examines domestic policy changes by viewing them primarily as responses to international economic flows but without accounting for the influence of policy choices by other states. However, a race among states occurs in response not to transnational economic flows but to policy changes made by peers. Due to the costliness of altering policies, states are generally reluctant to initiate policy changes unless they face some pressure to do so. This pressure is likely to come from their economic peers; that is, a policy change on the part of peers often generates negative externalities, which give rise to policy convergence among states. Therefore, globalization influences domestic policy choices by making them more cross-nationally interdependent. As policies differ from each other in terms of their economic implications, pressure in different policy areas can lead to either a race to the bottom or a race to the top. In addition, responses to policy pressure are affected by domestic institutions. Because domestic institutions fundamentally shape the bargaining abilities of different societal segments, variations between institutions should also lead to varying responses to policy pressure. Heterogeneity in responses to policy pressure is, therefore, expected. I apply this theory to investigate changes in labor protection.

520 $a In an era of globalization, the key to understanding domestic policy changes is through the lens of policy interdependence. In accord with the notion of the race to the bottom (explicitly or implicitly), a large body of literature examines domestic policy changes by viewing them primarily as responses to international economic flows but without accounting for the influence of policy choices by other states. However, a race among states occurs in response not to transnational economic flows but to policy changes made by peers. Due to the costliness of altering policies, states are generally reluctant to initiate policy changes unless they face some pressure to do so. This pressure is likely to come from their economic peers; that is, a policy change on the part of peers often generates negative externalities, which give rise to policy convergence among states. Therefore, globalization influences domestic policy choices by making them more cross-nationally interdependent. As policies differ from each other in terms of their economic implications, pressure in different policy areas can lead to either a race to the bottom or a race to the top. In addition, responses to policy pressure are affected by domestic institutions. Because domestic institutions fundamentally shape the bargaining abilities of different societal segments, variations between institutions should also lead to varying responses to policy pressure. Heterogeneity in responses to policy pressure is, therefore, expected. I apply this theory to investigate changes in labor protection.
520 $a Utilizing spatial econometric techniques to analyze a new dataset on collective labor rights for the period 1994-2012, I find that labor rights practices are interdependent among economic competitors and show global deterioration: i.e., a race to the bottom. On the other hand, I find that labor rights laws remain largely independent due to the high political costs of lowering them and that these laws show more fluctuations than labor rights practices do. In contrast, for women's economic rights, which serves as a proxy for non-discrimination rights, I analyze newly coded data that distinguishes law from practice, finding a worldwide enhancement in these rights over time---the diffusion of higher standards of women's economic rights across the globe, i.e., a race to the top. In a general sense, I find that democracies improve collective labor rights and that downward policy contagion is less likely to be encountered in a state with a higher level of democracy.
