One of the most important areas of the economy from a geostrategic point of view is the negotiation of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), whereby the parties remove tariffs to allow the exchange of goods and services that are not subject to tariffs when they cross borders to be sold or provided in other countries. When we talk about these FTAs at the level of a continent or several continents, their importance becomes even greater. This analysis seeks, first and foremost, to understand the regulation of social security in these continental FTAs, from which the four most notable examples have been taken, and to identify the extent to which the free play of Social Protection national systems is allowed, or whether restrictions are placed on them, or whether they are replaced by one single system for all signatory countries.
