世界贸易组织（WTO）能否为实现合理的劳动和环境政策做出贡献？答案需要了解世贸组织的规则。我们认为，WTO规则的目的是建立一个谈判论坛，各国政府可以交换安全的市场准入承诺。从这个角度来看，我们认为，健全的贸易，劳工和环境政策的支持者可以从一个运作良好的WTO中受益，因为促进贸易自由化和防止竞争到底部/监管寒冷的问题是齐头并进的，每一个都是通过维护安全的产权谈判市场准入承诺。
Can the World Trade Organization (WTO) contribute to the attainment of sound labor and environmental policies? An answer requires an understanding of WTO rules. We argue that the purpose of WTO rules is to create a negotiating forum where governments can exchange secure market access commitments. From this perspective, we argue that supporters of sound trade, labor and environmental policies can benefit from a well-functioning WTO, because facilitating trade liberalization and preventing race-to-the-bottom/regulatory-chill problems go hand in hand, and each is accomplished by maintaining secure property rights over negotiated market access commitments.
