过去20年来，区域贸易协定的激增突出表明，有必要密切关注区域规则或纪律与世贸组织规则或纪律之间的关系。增进对区域贸易协定的理解的一个主要障碍是缺乏关于其内容的详细信息。这限制了将区域贸易协定视为受保护主义利益制约的歧视性工具的人与将其视为有利于多边贸易开放的人之间的辩论。本书详细分析了世界上几十个主要区域贸易协定中六个关键领域的区域贸易协定规则-市场准入、技术性贸易壁垒、应急保护、投资、服务和竞争政策。这种分析有助于对区域和多边贸易规则之间的相互作用提供新的见解，增进对区域贸易协定的经济影响的理解，并有助于讨论如何处理数量迅速增加的区域贸易协定。
The proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) over the past two decades has highlighted the need to look closely at the relationships between regional and WTO rules or disciplines. A major obstacle to advancing understanding of RTAs is the absence of detailed information about their contents. This has limited the debate between those who view RTAs as discriminatory instruments hostage to protectionist interests and those who see them as conducive to multilateral trade opening. This book provides detailed analysis of RTA rules in six key areas – market access, technical barriers to trade, contingent protection, investment, services and competition policy – across dozens of the main RTAs in the world. The analysis helps to provide new insights into the interplay between regional and multilateral trade rules, advances understanding of the economic effects of RTAs and contributes to the discussion on how to deal with the burgeoning number of RTAs.
