Impact of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area on China's International Agricultural Trade and Its Regional Development

This study aims to examine the impact of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area （CAFTA） on China＇s international agricultural trade and its regional agricultural development, using the Global Trade Analysis Project model and the China Agricultural Decision Support System. Our analysis showed that： （i） CAFTA will improve resource allocation efficiencies for both China and ASEAN and will promote bilateral agricultural trade and, hence, will have positive effects on the economic development of both sides; （ii） CAFTA will accelerate China＇s export of the agricultural commodities in which it has comparative advantages, such as vegetables, wheat and horticultural products, but at the same time bring about a large increase in imports of commodities such as vegetable oil and sugar; and （iii） CAFTA will have significantly varying impacts on China＇s regional agricultural development because of large differences in the agricultural production structure in each region. Our results indicate that agriculture in the northern, northeastern and eastern regions of China will benefit from CAFTA, whereas agriculture development in southern China will suffer. Those regional specific impacts are quite different from the effects brought by multilateral free trade treaties, such as those of the WTO, which usually have positive effects on south China but negative impacts on the northern and western parts of China.

The Shift in the Discourse About a Free Trade Area in the Brazilian Amazon： From Progress to Ecological Modernization

The Manaus Free Trade Area （ZFM） will end in 2023, but there is a proposal to amend the Brazilian Federal Constitution so that it lasts until 2073. From the understanding of discourse as a social practice, this paper is based on the analysis of 265 parliamentary pronouncements, 19 numbers of an institutional magazine, and 626 news texts from the most important local newspaper, all published between 2007 and 2010. It reveals a shift in the discourse about the ZFM, guided by ecological modernization. The industries are now presented as responsible for preserving the rainforest： it is said that if the tax incentives stop, there will be unemployment and deforestation. This tragic story line does not recognize the role of traditional peoples and communities in forest conservation and neither is open to the public debate about other models of development for the Amazon.

An Inquiry into the Approach to Asian Regional Trade Integration Under the Belt and Road Initiative——The Case of the Alignment of a China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Area

It has been five years since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was first introduced. Though there has been a growing body of literature on regional cooperation between covered countries, Japan and South Korea have been barely discussed. This paper starts with the consensus-based mechanism of a China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Area (FTA) to probe the approach of its alignment with the BRI in terms of the sequence of “master plans,”“viability of cooperation,” and “embedding of rules.” This inquiry found that the three countries have a shared interest in cooperation in Central Asia to which China prefers a pragmatic approach, while Japan and South Korea an approach combining idealism with pragmatism. Given the huge potential of cooperation between the trio, it is suggested that a “Central Asia chapter” be incorporated in the negotiation framework of this trilateral FTA, and that the design feature three aspects;fundamental principles, specific rules, and an executive body with a view to functionally contributing to regional trade integration in Asia. This approach may also be applied to the alignment of other Asian areas with the BRI.

The Impact of High-standard Free Trade Areas on the Diversification of China's Export Products: Expanding Market or Intensifying Competition?

In the context of China's efforts to establish a global network of free trade areas and diversify its export products, this study explores the impact of trade agreement depth on China's export diversification. Building upon a trade model with multiproduct firms, we discover that the effect of trade agreement depth on export diversification is multifaceted, depending on the relative magnitude of the “market expansion effect” and the “competition intensification effect.” Through empirical analysis of China's exports to 132 countries (or regions) from 2000 to 2015, we find that the deepening of trade agreements affected China's export diversification negatively. This negative correlation was predominantly due to the similarity in comparative advantages between China and its trade partners, leading to the “competition intensification effect” overshadowing the “market expansion effect.” We also note that “natural” agreements, when deepened, were more likely to affect China's export diversification adversely than their “non-natural” counterparts. Moreover, as export diversification increased, the marginal impact of deepening trade agreements exhibited an inverted U-shaped trajectory.

百年大变局下的中欧经济合作:现状成就、困难阻力与有效措施

作为当今世界两大力量、两大市场、两大文明,中欧在世界政治和全球经济活动中的地位举足轻重。当前,世界正在经历百年未有之大变局,国际秩序和全球体系迎来深度的变革调整,欧盟也致力于在国际政治舞台上进阶更高席次、实现更大抱负。与此同时,我国正处在一个大有可为的历史机遇期,也面临世界百年大变局带来的外部环境变动和不确定性因素。因此,中欧推动双方合作迈上更高台阶,不仅能够保障各自的发展需求和国际地位,也符合双方规划设计的总体目标和长远利益,对彼此都具有重大的战略意义和全球影响。特别是随着国内消费升级、经济产业变革,促使服务业成为拉动中国经济发展的重要动力之一,中国开始更大规模地增加商品和服务进口,这给中欧经济合作注入了更强的动力和活力。

“印太经济框架”新进展及其对亚太区域经济一体化的影响

“印太经济框架”(IPEF)以成员方自愿选取其四大支柱参与的“菜单式”合作,构建不同于传统自由贸易协定、聚焦新兴领域及高标准规则的新型经济框架。截至目前,“供应链”支柱协议已签署并生效,“清洁经济”“公平经济”支柱协议和IPEF协定也已实质性结束磋商。作为美国加速推进的“印太战略”的经济支柱,IPEF的地缘政治和意识形态色彩更为浓厚,尤其基于“价值观同盟”的区域供应链的构建与强化及对“美国优先”、对中国经济“去风险化”的发展与强调,使地缘经济分裂的风险进一步加剧,亚太区域经济一体化既有的进程受损、既定的目标趋弱、可能的路径分散,亚太自由贸易区议程的推进更为不易。中国自由贸易区提升战略的实施,应继续保持战略定力,持续推进亚太经合组织内部自由贸易协定能力建设与亚太自由贸易区议程及自身加入《全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(CPTPP)的进程,加快与IPEF、亚太经合组织、CPTPP成员双边自由贸易区的构建,适时扩容和升级《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP),并切实推动RCEP与CPTPP的融合发展,尽量减轻IPEF带给自身的战略压力。

论上海建设中国特色国际体育贸易中心的战略路向——基于赛事、版权与转会市场的分析

近年来,上海出台了一系列促进体育产业改革与创新发展的战略规划和政策举措,提出了加快上海建设国际体育贸易中心的战略构想,但目前关于国际体育贸易中心建设的研究仍处于起步阶段。现从国际贸易学的“要素禀赋理论”和“比较优势理论”出发,结合全球著名国际体育贸易中心发展的历程与经验、上海建设国际体育贸易中心已经取得的经验和优势,同时运用PEST分析法、文献资料法、调研法和案例分析法,从国家战略与城市定位、体育产业结构状况、体育消费市场、体育产业政策等角度对上海建设国际贸易中心的内外部环境进行具体分析。通过研究发现当前上海市建设国际体育贸易中心存在体育赛事缺乏创新、版权保护形势严峻、体育产业结构不合理等诸多问题,并由此提出上海建设国际体育贸易中心要进一步促进中华文化与体育赛事的融合、强化版权保护、推动体育产业结构转型升级并强化运动员人力资本产权的界定等战略路向。

CAFTA升级前后服务贸易开放对中国制造业服务化的影响研究

中国对东盟整体的服务贸易开放平均水平比东盟整体对中国的低,随着CAFTA的升级,二者水平均呈上升趋势,且波动幅度趋缓.东盟自贸区内各个国家相互之间的服务贸易开放水平各有不同,但中国与新加坡、泰国、菲律宾和越南等国的开放水平较高.运用国家投入产出表测度中国制造业投入服务化和产出服务化水平,发现二者都呈现逐年上升的趋势,且CAFTA升级后,制造业投入服务化水平上升幅度更明显.CAFTA的升级对中国制造业服务化水平的提升有显著的促进作用,中国对东盟的服务贸易开放水平对中国制造业投入服务化的影响更大,而东盟对中国的服务贸易开放对中国制造业产出服务化的影响程度相对较小.

自由贸易协定纵向深化对中国出口商品结构的影响——以CAFTA升级为准自然实验

中孟自由贸易区的贸易效应评估——基于动态GTAP模型的模拟

为全面评估中国—孟加拉国自由贸易协定的可行性及经济效应,本文基于2011—2022年中孟双边贸易的详细数据,从政治、经济两个方面分析中孟自贸区的建立基础,并运用GTAP模型评估中孟自贸区的贸易效应。结果表明:建立中孟自贸区可为两国带来明显的正向贸易效应,但需重点关注关税和非关税下降对孟加拉国的贸易条件带来的不良影响;总体来看,不同的开放设定对两国宏观层面的指标影响存在差异,同时由于两国要素禀赋不同,中孟两国产业所受影响具有非对称性,建立自贸区对两国部分产业有一定的不利冲击。文章基于上述结论给出相应对策,以期为中孟自贸区的建立提供理论支持和政策参考。

法文化视域下海南民族地区社会治理研究

在海南自由贸易港(以下简称自由贸易港)建设中,民族地区法文化活态和社会治理机制的探讨将为自由贸易港建设提供重要的法律资源和可靠的法律制度保障。海南是一个多民族聚居的省份,现有乐东、陵水、昌江、保亭、琼中、白沙6个民族自治县,这6个县拥有大量少数民族聚居区;此外五指山市、东方市、三亚市均有比较集中的少数民族聚居区。以黎族、苗族、回族为代表的族群在民族地区大量存在,这些民族地区还存在着隐形的家族组织和一系列的法文化活态,在自由贸易港建设背景下如何处理好民族地区法文化活态与社会治理的关系,对于实现民族地区的“善治”具有重要作用。探究民族地区治理模式、尊重民族传统文化、发挥族群自治功能等路径可以为海南民族地区社会治理提供有力支持。
