论国际核心劳工标准执行机制之争与中国的应对策略

Arguments On Enforcement of Core Labor Standard Through Trade Agreements and China's Countermeasures

发达国家基于“倒退的竞争理论”主张应将贸易政策与劳工标准相挂钩,以促使发展中国家执行国际核心劳工标准,对此发展中国家强烈反对。目前发达国家制造业工人之所以大量失业,根本原因乃是其自身经济和技术发展。由于贸易政策被迫执行国际核心劳工标准的发展中国家,如拉丁美洲与约旦国内失业率正在急剧上升。因此,反对将劳工标准与贸易政策相挂钩,反对将劳工标准纳入世贸组织的争端解决框架。

Based on theory of ＂race to the bosom＂, the developed countries insist on enforcement of core labor standard through trade agreements, whereas this policy is strongly resisted by developing countries. In the author ＇ s opinion, it is technical revolution that leads to the high unemployment rate in the developed countries. To meet the obligation of trade agreements with USA, some developing countries, such as Latin America and Jordan, have to implement core labor standard, thus making more people lose their jobs. Therefore, the author strongly opposes that core labor standard should be related to trade policy , and core labor standard should be implemented through the dispute settlement of WTO.
