International and Multinational Strategic Behaviour
展示了将战略维度引入国际贸易分析如何拓展传统方法,探讨了公共与私人合谋策略以及欧洲背景下的战略性外国直接投资,强调需要国际可信规则与协调来避免破坏性贸易战。
SUMMARY This paper shows that the recent work introducing the strategic dimension into the analysis of international trade allows a fruitful enlargement of the traditional approach. The first section highlights certain aspects of international strategic relations, including the role played by the public authorities. The second applies this approach to private and public collusive strategies in international trade. Finally the third section introduces the elements of a theory of strategic foreign direct investment in the European context. The conclusion underlines that the central message of the strategic approach is not a support to more activist trade policies but the need for international credible rules and coordination that prevent unilateral strategies leading to ruinous industrial policy and mutually destructive trade wars.
