Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The relationship between international trade and human rights has been extensively debated. Drawing on a panel of 132 countries over the period 1982-2004, this paper examines how bilateral trade linkages influence the human rights practices of exporting countries. In doing so, we study the conditions under which Vogel’s “California Effect” might operate in the context of the diffusion of human rights practices. The California Effect suggests that international trade can serve as a vehicle to ratchet up human rights practices in exporting countries if the export destinations themselves have higher human rights standards. Using the IMF’s “Direction of Trade” data in conjunction with the Cingranelli-Richards Human Rights Dataset, we investigate the conditions under which the human rights practices of exporting countries are influenced by the human rights practices of their trading partners. We find that the California Effect does indeed operate in the context of human rights, but only in interaction with facilitating political institutions (democracy) in the exporting country.
