2018年WTO及RTA國際研討會:全球化與多邊貿易組織的前景與挑戰 2018 WTO & RTA International Conference: The Prospects and Challenges of Globalization and Multilateral Trade Organization
自2016年起,國際局勢變化多端,貿易保護主義抬頭的趨勢,使各國對全球化及經貿整合的未來感到憂心。特別是原支持多邊體系及經貿自由化的美國,轉而傾向單邊主義,並強調公平貿易而非自由貿易,除退出TPP改採雙邊協定外,更於2017年於阿根廷舉行的第11屆WTO部長級會議中,質疑WTO經貿體制的有效性。與此同時,由科技發展為支撐的全球化經濟整合仍持續前進,但也因工業4.0等變革而使得其內涵與形式可能有所不同。在此背景下,本中心特以「全球化與多邊貿易組織的前景與挑戰」為題,舉辦國際研討會,期持續增進社會大眾瞭解國際經貿最新的議題及未來發展方向。 Since 2016, international economic environment has become less predictable because of the rise in protectionist trade policies, which creates uncertainties for the future of globalization and economic integrations in the global community. The United States, which used to advocate the multilateral trading system and trade liberalization, now steers its way toward unilateralism, and gives more weight to fair trade than free trade. Besides withdrawing from the TPP and embracing bilateral agreements, the United States also contested the efficacy of WTO system at the 11th WTO Ministerial Conference, held in Argentina last year. In the meantime, the global economic integrations that are driven by technological developments, would keep on moving. Yet, the structures and the formations of the integrations may be significantly different with the help of Industry 4.0. Under such circumstances, the Taiwan WTO & RTA Center chooses “the Prospects and Challenges of Globalization and Multilateral Trading Organization” as the conference topic, in hopes of increasing the public understanding of the latest international trading issues and future developments.
