【 摘 要 】

deep digital trade rules start to appear. Yet WTO Member countries should make their best endeavor to make digital trade-relevant rules in bilateral or regional trade agreements compatible with one in the multilateral trading system. Digital trade has become an integral part of multilateral trade negotiations and regional trade agreement negotiations. This study examines the liberalization movement of digital trade in three arenas: in WTO multilateral trade negotiations (WTO-led liberalization), in WTO dispute settlement body (DSB-led liberalization), and in regional trade agreements (RTA-led liberalization). Global trade environment surrounding digital trade, for the time being, is likely to be established through regional trade negotiations and common provisions in e-commerce chapters are expected to become a global trade norm. With few achievements so far, uncertainties about the future negotiation process make desire for global rules on digital trade nothing but swelling. Negotiation shall continue.
