摘要
《非洲增长与机遇法案》是美国通过的对黑非洲国家实施的单方面贸易普惠法。其涉及范围为黑非洲48个国家,截至2005年7月底,共有37个《法案》受惠国。2000年和2001年,斯威士兰和莱索托分别成为《法案》受惠国。这两个国家均为非洲东南部内陆小国,地理位置相近;历史文化、政治体制相似;经济发展水平相差无几。成为《法案》受惠国以来,两国在外贸、投资等方面均有较大幅度的增长,经济结构也发生了有益的变化。但也应该看到,《法案》对受慧国所要求的不仅仅有单纯的经济贸易条件,还包括实行多党民主政治、开放经济和进行私有化改造等附加条件,可见,《法案》作用的局限性也非常明显。
African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is the generalized preferential trade act towards Africa offered unilaterally by the U.S.A. It should cover 48 African countries and up to the end of July 2005, there had been 37 countries benefited. In 2000 and 2001, Swaziland and Lesotho became another two beneficiary countries of the Act, both of which are small and inland countries with the similar geographical position, history and culture, political system and economic level. Since being benefited,trade and investment have begun to increase in the two countries, and their economic structures have been improved. Yet it should not be ignored that AGOA functions with limitation for having placed not only some trade and economic conditions, but also the multi-party democracy, open economy and privatization as the conditions on the beneficiary countries.
