世界贸易组织（WTO）多哈回合谈判陷入停顿。对多哈回合（至少是暂时）失败的绝大多数分析都集中在美国和欧盟未能就回合期间提出的农业提案达成共识。相对而言，很少有人注意解释为什么大部分发展中国家也不同意摆在桌面上的提案。许多发展中国家的谈判者声称，多哈回合的潜在好处相对较小，而部署有效发展政策的主权丧失的潜在代价却很大。本文认为，发展中国家之所以暂时退出谈判，是因为市场准入可能带来的收益不足以换取为发展政策放弃国内政策空间。
ABSTRACT The Doha Round negotiations at the World Trade Organization have come to a halt. The vast majority of analyses of the (at least temporary) demise of the Doha Round have focused on the lack of the United States and the European Union to reach consensus on the agricultural proposals that were tabled during the round. Relatively little attention has focused on explaining the rationale for why a large part of the developing world would not agree to proposals on the table as well. Many developing country negotiators claim that the potential benefits of the Doha Round were relatively small while the potential costs in terms of a loss of sovereignty to deploy effective development policies were significant. This paper argues that developing countries took a respite from the negotiations because the possible gains from market access were not large enough to trade for giving up domestic policy space for development policy.
