European Green Deal and Geopoliticisation of Trade: A Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis of EU Agricultural Trade Policy
本文运用后结构主义话语理论，分析冯德莱恩委员会在绿色协议下将农业贸易政策从新自由主义转向开放战略自主，并利用环境他者化策略，可能加剧全球分裂和单边主义。
Abstract Drawing on Laclau and Mouffe's poststructuralist discourse theory, this article critically examines the von der Leyen Commission's agricultural trade policy under the European Green Deal. It elucidates the shift from a dominant neoliberal trade logic to open strategic autonomy, positioning agricultural trade as a foreign policy instrument. The article argues that the Commission has inverted the logic of justification by prioritising environmental sustainability and strategically deploying the discursive strategy of environmental othering. Whilst economic growth remains central to internal justifications, it is strategically excluded from external discourse. Instead, external justification relies on legal framing and the portrayal of the environmental crisis as a universally acknowledged but manageable threat. The article concludes that the EU's revised approach risks accelerating global fragmentation and fostering a trend towards rising unilateralism.
