论贸易保护主义法律措施的新发展

On the New Development of Legal Measures of Trade Protectionism

新时期的贸易保护主义法律措施不仅包括传统的关税与非关税贸易壁垒,还包括贸易救济措施之滥用与绿色、蓝色壁垒、投资措施等。这些措施具有名义上的正当性、形式上的合法性等特征,它们发端于贸易理论之创新,助长于多边贸易体制之脆弱,根源于全球经济发展之失衡,其正当性虽存争议,但其危害却不容置疑。为了消除新时期贸易保护主义法律措施之危害,应从加强WTO谈判、完善WTO规则、善用WTO机制、完备国内立法等方面努力。

The global financial crisis ushered in severe economic decline worldwide.As a result,many countries have adopted protectionism policies to protect their industries.Trade protectionist measures,in the new era,include not only the traditional tariff and non-tariff trade barriers,but also the abuse of safeguard measures,green barriers,blue barriers,investment measures,etc.Such protectionist measures are just in name,and legitimate in form,for they originated in the new trade theory,the fragile multilateral trading system, and the global imbalance of economic development.However,their harm is beyond doubt.In order to deal with the harm of these measures,we should strengthen our participation in WTO negotiations and the making of WTO rules,cleverly use the WTO mechanisms,and perfect domestic legislation.
