从日本FTA战略看东北亚地区经济一体化的发展趋势

Japan’s FTA Strategy and the Perspectives of the Economic Integration of Northeast Asia

战后,日本充分利用了贸易自由化时期的有利国际环境,在"贸易立国"战略指导下,多年来一直奉行多边自由贸易政策,从不搞双边的自由贸易协定。20世纪90年代中期以后,随着国际和国内环境的变化,日本的经济合作政策发生了明显的转变,日本媒体、企业界和政府对区域贸易集团的关注程度明显提高。2001年,中国与东盟就10年内建立中国东盟自由贸易区达成一致,对日本加快区域经济一体化进程起到了关键性的推动作用,日本加快了构建双边自由贸易区的进程。

The post-war Japan takes full advantage of the favorable international environment in the age of trade liberalization. Under the trade-based development strategy, Japan had adopted a policy of multi-lateral free trade, intentionally avoiding bilateral FTAs. However, the international and domestic situation have changed the Japanese policy of economic cooperation since 1990s. The media, the enterprises and the government have paid obviously increasing attention to the regional trade blocs. In 2001, China came to an accord with ASEAN, targeting at building the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone in 10 years. This turns out to be a key determinant of Japan＇s revision of its schedule of regional economic integration, by eagerly negotiating the bilateral FTAs.
