Trade and Domestic Policy Linkage in International Agreements*
探讨将国内政策（如环境或劳工标准）纳入贸易协议时，贸易与国内政策条款应如何关联，并论证这种关联的益处可能低于普遍预期。
A central question in discussions of integrating negotiations over domestic policy (e.g., environmental policy or labor standards) into traditional trade agreements is the degree to which the trade policy and domestic policy provisions of an agreement should be explicitly linked. For example, should the World Trade Organization enforce domestic policy obligations with the threat of the suspension of trade concessions? This article considers the conditions under which linking trade and domestic policy agreements within a self‐enforcing agreement is beneficial, and argues that the benefits of such policy linkage may be lower than is commonly thought.
