This paper examines and compares safeguard measures in regional and bilateral agreements. It groups together regional agreements on the basis of shared characteristics and examines the extent to which various safeguard clauses have been used in practice. According to the authors, the examined agreements vary from vague and flexible to comprehensive and rigid. In many respects they contain similar conditions for invocation and procedural steps that are provided for under WTO law.
