前言

2001年8月，教育部在《关于加强高等学校本科教学工作提高教学质量的若干意见》中提出：“为适应经济全球化和科技革命的挑战，本科教育要创造条件使用英语等外语进行公共课和专业课教学。对高新技术领域的生物技术、信息技术等专业，以及为适应我国加入WT0后需要的金融、法律等专业，更要先行一步，力争三年内外语教学课程达到所开课程的5％～10％。”在此后的几年中，许多高校在不同的学科领域都开设了双语教学课程。由于国外的教学体制和课程设置与我国的教学体制和课程设置存在一定的差异，我国有些课程几乎没有原版的英文教材可以使用。“世界贸易组织概论”就属于其中的一门课程。我们从2004年至今，一直对该门课实施双语教学，苦于没有原版英文教材，就直接从世贸组织的网站上下载“Understanding the WTO”自编成讲义以供教学使用，让学生了解到了原汁原味的世贸组织基本知识。但不足的是“Understanding the WTO”在内容编排和结构上离我们教学的要求还有一段距离。为了解决“世界贸易组织概论”这门课的双语教材问题，我们总结以往教学的一些体会，对原先使用的讲义，在内容的编排和结构上做了调整和修改，并充实了相关内容，形成今天的这本《Essentials of the WT0》，供双语教学使用。该教材的特点是每章开篇对整章内容有中文提示，文中有小标题提示内容的中心思想，章后附有注释对难点和重点进行解释，这样，既适合中国老师的教学习惯，又能满足学生的阅读习惯，有利于双语教学的顺利开展和教学质量的提高。由于编者的学识有限，书中难免有不足之处，请读者不吝指教。

章节摘录

插图：This first round of negotiations resulted in 45,000 tariff concessions affecting $ 10 billion of trade, about one fifth of the world's total. The 23 also agreed that they should accept some of the trade rules of the draft ITO Charter.  This, they believed, should be done swiftly and "provisionally" in order to protect the value of the tariff concessions they had negotiated. The combined package of trade rules and tariff concessions became known as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It entered into force in January 1948, while the ITO Charter was still being negotiated. The 23 became founding GATT members (officially, "contracting parties ").ITO aborted and GATT became provisionalAlthough the ITO Charter was finally agreed at a UN Conference on Trade and Employment in Havana in March 1948, ratification in some national legislatures proved impossible. The most serious opposition was in the US Congress, even though the US government had been one of the driving forces. In 1950, the United States government announced that it would not seek congressional ratification of the Havana Charter, and the/TO was effectively dead.  Even though it was provisional, the GATT remained the only multilateral instrument governing international trade from 1948 until the WTO was established in 1995.

•   挺薄的，是英文的教材。
•   很薄的一本书，并不是完全双语对译的那种，而是关键词句在文章结尾有注释。难度适中，经过了剪辑整编，比直接的外文书更和中国人的胃口。
