实现国际贸易自由化一直是美国的基本战略目标,而自由贸易区协定战略是实现这一目标的重要工具。美国的自由贸易区建设呈现出鲜明的特征,同时也面临着一些障碍,阻碍了自由贸易战略的继续推进。这些障碍既与国际环境和其他国家有关,也与美国的国际地位和对外战略有关。 To achieve liberalization of international trade has always been the basic strategic goal of the United States, and the FTA strategy is an important tool for achieving this goal. The construction of the free trade area in the United States shows its distinctive features as well as some obstacles that hinder the continuous promotion of the free trade strategy. These obstacles relate not only to the international environment and to other countries, but also to the international status of the United States and its foreign strategy.
