Trade rules, food security and the multilateral trade negotiations
论证开放可预测的贸易体系通过提高国际粮食系统效率和应对突发冲击的能力来促进全球粮食安全,并分析多哈回合农业谈判中已达成和仍存分歧的领域,呼吁经济学家与持怀疑态度的公民社会加强互动以推动谈判成功。
This paper makes the case that an open and predictable trading system plays an essential role in promoting global food security by making the international food system more efficient and more responsive to sudden shocks which might threaten food security. It argues that the draft Doha Round agricultural modalities would do much to improve the governance of global food security and examines those areas where agreement remains elusive. It calls for more engagement by economists with an increasingly sceptical civil society to help build momentum for a successful conclusion to the Doha Round.
