歐盟經驗與兩岸統合：建立WTO架構下的雙邊商務糾紛解決機制

How to Launch and Organize Integration across the Taiwan Strait: An Analysis Based on the EU Experience

台海兩岸五十年來雖然免於大規模的戰禍，卻一直無法發展出一個穩定的雙邊關係，而在相互定位和台灣的國際關係問題上衝突不斷。現在，兩岸都在積極爭取儘早加入WTO，使得兩岸之後的貨物（goods）和勞務（service）交流乃至商務爭端的解決都將受到WTO的規範。這無疑將衝擊尚無直接商務往來且無法清楚定位對方的兩岸經貿交流。與此同時，美國開始在台海尋求新的角色，不斷利用各項場合釋出各類提議，希望穩定台海情勢，保障美國利益。上述環境的變遷勢將迫使台灣迄今「以拖待變，被動應付」的大陸政策改弦易轍。而參考歐盟經驗，由台灣在兩岸加入WTO前夕提出建立類似歐盟的兩岸商務糾紛解決機制，不僅可能獲得中共和美國的支持，緩和兩岸關係，就長期來看，亦的確有可能在不損及兩岸現有利益的基礎上逐步化解彼此在相互定位和台灣國際關係上的衝突。

Though there has not been war over past fifty years, the Taiwan Strait has been considered one of most explosive situations in East Asia. since the end of the Cold War. While China insists upon the one-China policy and regards Taiwan as its rebellious as a de jure stste by the international community. However, neither has obtianed what it wants and neither is satisfied with the status quo. The Taiwan Strait continues to be potentially explosive and the only peacekeeper is U.S., which aims to keep 'China out, America in, and Taiwan down.' As a ewsult, the U.S. strongly opposes Taiwan's 'stste-ti-state' strategy toward China ans is forcing Taiwan to adopt a more subtle policy. At the same time, Taiwan and China are becoming full members of the WTO. This international organization, and particularly its dispute settlement process, will offer both sides a legal framework to regulate their incresaingly close commercial relations. Under such circumstances, Taiwan needs to renew its strategy toward China and to launch integration; the establishment of a bilateral commercial dispute settlement mechanisms could be the best chioce. In the short term, this proposal could be agreed by the Taiwanese, encouraged by the Americans, and accepted by the Chinese. In the long run, integration could be an ideal solution to the confilcts between China and Taiwan.
