走出“全球化陷阱”——中国粮食安全战略转型与全球食物体系重构

Escaping the"Globalization Trap":China's Food Security Strategy and Restructuring of the Global Food System

2001年11月,经过多年的谈判,中国正式加入世界贸易组织。虽然今天普遍将“入世”视为中国经济高速增长及崛起的重要转折点,但当时各种讨论对经济全球化的前景却并不乐观,尤其在农业生产及粮食安全领域。至21世纪初期,“华盛顿共识”及新自由主义全球化已在世界实施了近二十年时间。

This article explains why China's agri-food system escaped the"globalization trap"after it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001,which forced the populous country's small-farmer agriculture to face global competition.Contrary to the pessimistic projection of the"globalization trap"theory,China has emerged as a powerful player in the world's agriculture and food sectors.We outline six components of China's food security strategy formulated in the past two decades and explain how China's rise has facilitated the restructuring of the global food system,particularly the South-South food relations.The article concludes with a discussion of internal and external challenges thatwill constrain China's long-term food security.
