本文回顾了经济全球化的本质,以及最近受到很多赞誉和指责的主要机构——世界贸易组织(WTO)。它首先定义了全球化,即世界经济日益一体化。然后,它主要利用经济理论来确定全球化的收益和成本,并询问谁从全球化中获益和损失,以及世界经济内部和之间的谁获得了这些收益和成本。讨论的这一部分最后简要地提出了关于全球化可以和应该做些什么。论文的后半部分转向世贸组织,该组织在1999年12月的西雅图会议上受到了如此多的负面关注。作者试图澄清一些关于它的作用和原因的误解。一些群体从世贸组织中获益,一些群体从世贸组织中受损,一些群体只是世贸组织在促进全球化方面的作用的副产品,但另一些群体则来自世贸组织的特定规则和程序。这篇论文提出了可以做些什么来改变世贸组织本身和公众对它的看法。版权所有:布莱克威尔出版有限公司。
This paper reviews the essentials of economic globalization, as well as the major institution that has recently gotten much of the credit and blame for it, the World Trade Organization (WTO). It first defines globalization, which is just the increasing economic integration of the world economy. It then asks who gains and loses from globalization, drawing primarily upon economic theory to identify its benefits and costs, and who within and among the world's economies get these benefits and costs. That part of the discussion concludes by asking briefly what can and should be done about globalization. The second half of the paper turns to the WTO, which was the focus of so much negative attention at its Seattle meeting in December 1999. The authors try to clarify several misperceptions about what it does, and why. Some groups gain and some lose from the WTO, some simply as a byproduct of its role in facilitating globalization, but others from particular WTO rules and procedures. The paper suggests what might be done to change both the WTO itself and the public's perceptions of it. Copyright 2002 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
