全球贸易治理模式之分析——以区域贸易协定为视角

Analysis of Modes of Global Trade Governance: A Perspective from Regional Trade Agreements

进入新世纪以来,以WTO为核心的多边贸易体系陷入发展低谷;而以新一代区域贸易协定为特征的区域化则一再提速,进入发展快轨。此次区域化潮流与以往区域化运动有明显差异,并被广泛视为制定下一代国际贸易规则的重要途径,从而对当前以多边贸易体系为核心的全球贸易治理模式构成挑战。然而区域化模式的全球贸易治理存在内生缺陷。要实现有效的全球贸易治理,必须要以两者互补性竞争关系为基础,搭建多边为核心、区域化为补充的治理模式。

The regionalism featuring new regional trade agreements has been developing rapidly while the WTO-centered multilateral trading system has stalled in the last decade. The latest trend of regionalism aims at developing a new set of rules based on the new mode of international trade, which, therefore, constitutes a challenge to multilateralism, the existing mode of global trade governance. The mode of regionalism, however, has inherent flaws in global trade governance. Recognizing the complementary-competitive relationship between multilateralism and regionalism, the effective global trade governance can only be achieved through a mode that centers around multilateralism, with regionalism as a necessary complement.
