Analysis of Factors Influencing China’s Accession to the Gpa
نویسنده
چکیده
China, with a huge market in government procurement, submitted an application to join the WTO GPA and formally began the negotiating process with the other signatories to the Agreement while the current parties were revising the 1994 GPA. International trade is not simply the outcome of market forces, of relative supply and demand. Rather, it is the result of a complex and interlocking network of bargains that are partly economic and partly political. This article discusses the main factors influencing China’s accession to the GPA from the perspective of trade negotiation, outlines the possible emerging problems and difficulties in the course of the accession and provides a brief recommendation to make the negotiations go on wheels. Legislation: Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) Subject: PUBLIC PROCUREMENT. Other related subjects: Trade Negotiation

متن کاملLong run Impacts of China’s WTO Accession on Farm- Nonfarm Income Inequality and Rural Poverty
Many fear China’s accession to WTO will impoverish its rural people, via greater import competition in its agricultural markets. We explore that possibility bearing in mind that, even if producer prices of some (land-intensive) farm products fall, prices of other (labor-intensive) farm products could rise. Also, the removal of restrictions on exports of textiles and clothing could boost town an...
