本文回顾了区域贸易协定(RTAs)地理格局的最新变化，重点是亚太地区的例子。总的模式是新的双边协议与大陆主义的趋势相结合。双边主义的新趋势在很大程度上可以用一种担忧来解释，即担心随着其他国家获得优惠和优越的进入这些市场的机会，各国将被排除在主要市场之外。这种模式在区域贸易协定与相应的多层次优惠和多种贸易规则体系之间创造了许多交叉。然而，从动态角度来看，这种模式可能会对世界贸易产生积极影响。它减轻了大型大陆区域贸易协定的影响，并可能导致区域贸易协定的合并或扩大。本文回顾了一些模型，这些模型提出了一个重要问题，即这一过程是否会一直推进到世界经济的自由贸易。版权所有布莱克韦尔出版有限公司2002年。
This paper reviews recent changes in the geographic pattern of regional trading agreements (RTAs), focusing on examples from the Asia-Pacific area. The general pattern is one of new bilateral agreements combined with a trend towards continentalism. The new trend towards bilateralism can be explained largely by a fear of countries being excluded from their major markets as other countries secure preferential and superior access to these markets. This pattern is creating many intersections between RTAs with consequential multi-tiered preferences and multiple systems of trade rules. Viewed dynamically, however, this pattern may have positive effects on world trade. It mitigates the effects of large continental RTAs and may lead to coalescence or enlargement of RTAs. The paper reviews models which ask the important question as to whether this process will progress all the way to free trade for the world economy. Copyright Blackwell Publishers Ltd 2002.
