**International economic agreements** significantly shape **domestic laws** by establishing frameworks that countries must adhere to for trade and investment. These agreements can lead to harmonization of regulations and standards across nations, affecting labor laws, environmental protections, and consumer rights. While they may facilitate global commerce, they can also constrain a nation's legislative autonomy, compelling governments to adjust local laws to comply with international standards. This can lead to tensions between national priorities and obligations under such agreements, influencing policy decisions and governance overall.
