Abstract:
With the rapid development of global digital trade and the lack of digital trade rules under the WTO multilateral framework, digital trade governance has shown a regionalization trend. In order to explore the prospects of digital trade governance in the Asia-Pacific region and predict the possible paths for Asia-Pacific economies to participate in digital trade governance, based on the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement(DEPA), this paper uses the research methods such as literature analysis, rule-text comparison, and logical deduction to conduct a comprehensive and systematic analysis and judgment on the breadth and depth of issues, negotiation modes, module characteristics, focus of attention and competition landscape of digital trade governance in the Asia-Pacific region. The research believes that the future Asia-Pacific digital trade governance will mainly show the following trends. Digital trade governance will cover more emerging technology fields, while traditional issues will tend to require a higher standard. The high efficiency of the special agreement will drive the digital trade issue to be gradually separated from the traditional issue, and the framework form of the agreement will also adopt an open, flexible and inclusive thematic module. In addition, issues such as digital inclusive development and digital facilitation will be the focus of Asia-Pacific digital trade governance. The big-power game of Asia-Pacific digital trade governance will be centered on China and the United States, but it is not ruled out that small and medium-sized economies will also “join together” to fight for the right to speak on certain issues.
