2008年10月15日,加勒比论坛成为非洲、加勒比和太平洋(非加太)国家集团中第一个与欧洲联盟(欧盟)签署“全面”经济伙伴关系协定的区域。虽然经济伙伴关系协定进程引起了广泛的批评性评论,但很少有分析家停下来考虑非加太国家和地区在谈判中的动机。在这篇文章中,我们考虑的问题的动机有关的加勒比论坛-欧盟EPA。具体来说,它问为什么加勒比论坛认为有必要或可取的签署一个'全面'的经济伙伴关系协定,其中载有许多条款实际上没有得到世贸组织的授权,而非加太国家的其他内容签署雄心勃勃的'货物只有'临时协议?为了解决这一问题,本文超越了现存的欧盟-非加太贸易文献,建立在更广泛的国际政治经济学(IPE)的奖学金,其中分析了发展中国家的行动关系到整个范围的'世贸组织+'南北区域和双边自由贸易协定。在此基础上,本文从协议的复杂细节出发,分析其更广泛的意义,特别是在改善和更安全的市场准入的直接经济利益与牺牲监管自主权或政策空间的长期成本之间的假定权衡方面,发达国家和(一些)发展中国家过去成功实施的那种贸易和产业政策。简而言之,这篇文章试图确定为什么最终CARIFORUM签署了一项协议,它从谈判中获得了什么,以及付出了什么代价。
On 15 October 2008, CARIFORUM became the first region among the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries to sign a ‘full’ Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union (EU). Although the EPA process has generated widespread critical commentary, few analysts have stopped to consider the motives of individual ACP countries and regions in their approach to the talks. In this article we consider the question of motives in relation to the CARIFORUM-EU EPA. Specifically, it asks why did CARIFORUM feel it necessary or desirable to sign a ‘full’ EPA, containing numerous provisions not actually mandated by the WTO, when the rest of the ACP was content to sign far less ambitious ‘goods only’ interim agreements? In order to address this question, the article goes beyond the extant EU-ACP trade literature to build on wider international political economy (IPE) scholarship, which has analysed the actions of developing countries in relation to a whole range of ‘WTO-plus’ North–South regional and bilateral FTAs. On this basis, the article stands back from the complex details of the agreement to analyse its wider significance, especially in terms of the presumed trade-off between the immediate economic benefits of improved and more secure market access, against the longer term costs of sacrificing the regulatory autonomy, or policy space, deemed necessary to pursue the type of trade and industrial policies deployed successfully in the past by both developed and (some) developing countries. Put simply, the article seeks to ascertain why ultimately CARIFORUM signed an agreement, what it gained from the negotiations and at what cost.
