WTO贸易议题与社会政策连结的内在途径——以农业“多功能性”为例的分析

在WTO体制中，存在着一些特殊种类的产品，与之生产俱来的社会性非常强烈，自始就不适用WTO关于贸易自由化的一般规则，需将对社会目标的关注“内化”为贸易限制；然而从具体规则的表面，往往看不到其维护社会价值的表达，故很容易被人们所忽略。此乃本文所称的贸易议题与社会政策挂钩的“内在连结”形式。以农业的“多功能性”为典型例子，探讨二者“内在连结”之机理。其所得的原理，还可用以分析其他特殊种类产品的贸易议题以及与贸易有关的议题与社会政策的内在挂钩问题。在WTO农业议题的谈判实践中，运用农业的“多功能性”概念，既可有力地维护我国的国家利益，也能为我国所持的谈判立场提供正当性之基础。

The Internal Linkage between Trade and Social Policy within WTO:An Analysis of the "Multifunctionality" of Agriculture

Within the system of WTO,there exist some special products which own very strong social effects,and WTO rules of trade liberalization do not work for them.As to these products,social value concerns shall be internalized into the restriction of trade,so it is not easy for us to find these social values at first glance.This Article see this case as the internal linkage between trade and social policy,and the "multifunctionality" of agriculture may be the best example available to explore the mechanism of this kind of internal linkage.The principle drawn from the "multifunctionality" of agriculture can also apply to the internal linkage between trade and social policy for other special products.During the WTO negotiation of agriculture products,China can use the concept of "multifunctionality" of agriculture to promote her national interests and the legitimacy of her claims.
