創始四國跨太平洋夥伴協定分析與台灣視野

Abstract

TPP協議涵蓋貿易相關議題，包括貨物貿易、貿易便利化、植物、衛生措施和技術性貿易壁壘、貿易救濟、投資、服務、電子商務、政府採購、知識產權、勞工和環境等等。綜觀來說主要確保TPP會員國履行其發展、競爭和包容的潛力，在國際化的世代，通過參與這些國際貿易組織對於各國到底是一帖良藥亦或只是商人之間得權力與利益爭奪的遊戲。 我們組希望透過觀察TPP協議最初的倡議四國(智利、汶萊、紐西蘭與新加坡)加入前後的獲益與損害，從當地的政府、媒體、民間資訊與各產業去整合與分析，且也參考這四國參與其他貿易協定之後的表現，最後發現其實跟這一切都是緊密的影響世界的佈局與經濟，也顯現出這些貿易協定所帶來的益處與爭議，希望能對將來台灣極力加入的TPP協議做一個探討，能給台灣做一個借鏡。

TPP covers trade-related issues which includes trade in goods, trade facilitation, sanitary, phytosanitary measures, and technical barriers to trade, trade remedies, investment, services, electronic commerce, government procurement, intellectual property, labor and environment. ‘Horizontal’ chapters meant to ensure that TPP fulfils its potential for development, competitiveness, and inclusiveness; dispute settlement, exceptions, and institutional provisions. We can see the difference between those participate countries and non-participate countries. TPP members’ economies obviously change in a good way after joining TPP. Therefore, if Taiwan should also join it becomes an important question. Joining TPP can enhance innovation, productivity and competitiveness. Also it will raise living standards, promote transparency, good governance, and enhanced labor and environmental protections. Since there are so many advantages of joining TPP, Taiwan should keep up the path to be internationalization. Through participating these international trade organizations will definitely benefit Taiwan’s economic.
