Regarding the effects brought out by China¡¦s joining World Trade Organization (WTO), apart from the investigation on the current wide economic aspect, there are some other aspects, such as the interaction among the political, social and national departments¡¦ independence, that are also worthy of further investigation. Ever since her reforms and opening to the world, China seems to be emerged step by step in a structure entirely different from her past systems. The highly independent and initiative natures of the original national organization have been weakened. In the process of China¡¦s becoming an official member of WTO and her substantial participation in the economic globalization, just because of the trend of international economic systems, the predictability of systems required by market economy, and also the independence bestowed on the mainframe of the market, China has to establish the relative applicable law system, and promise to act according to the international regulations and practices. Besides the relevant measures and conflicts of various industries, to China, her joining WTO is a catalytic media to accelerate the emergence of system crisis and the creation of system renovation. The study finds that concerning the independence of the national organization after China¡¦s joining WTO, aside from the political aspect where the originally high independence of the traditional party and national rules can still be preserved, there is a tendency that on the economic and social aspects, the independence of the national organization will first rise, and then fall. In the short run, in order to meet the fresh participation in WTO, the national organization naturally appears to have high independence in various aspects. But in the long run, the process of globalization has inevitably made China unable to sustain the high independence that she owned in the past, especially on the economic and social aspects.

During the initial stage, it used bamboo to make paper, and later cane dregs. As Taiwan is lacking of natural forest resources, which forced Taiwan papermaking industry to research and develop and become a country with the highest waste paper recovery rate and utilization rate worldwide. It made full use of waste paper as the raw material, to develop the unique papermaking core technique and competitiveness.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an international organization created to coordinate trading rules among nations. Made up of internationally negotiated trade agreements, the WTO has three main objectives: (1)to assist in the free operation of international trade; (2) to allow continued progress of liberalization of such trade through fair negotiations; and (3) to create a system for the impartial settlement of international trade disputes. A key component of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). This body, as with the WTO itself, has only been in operation since January of 1995. The WTO, although relatively new, has made significant strides in improving the international trading system and resolving trade disputes. Unlike other international organizations, such as the international Monetary Fund (IMF) or World Bank, the WTO is not controlled by a board of directors, but instead is governed by its member nations. Given this type of arrangement, it is essential that the member nations abide by the signed agreements that govern the operation of the WTO and its Dispute Settlement Body. Otherwise the WTO cannot function as envisioned. This research argues that the European Union (EU) is presently abusing the system through its actions in the dispute settlement case EC- Hormones, Complaint by the United States. Using tactics designed to delay the resolution of this dispute, the EU has increased the costs ssociated with the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) and threatened the credibility of the WTO. / Master of Arts

It would possibly face a great challenge under the framework of WTO (World Trade Organization), our domestic agri-market should be impacted by the opening up international market. Our farmers are habituated for the payment and protection policies by the government for a long time, so that the market competence is rather poor. Therefore, after joining WTO, as the international market opens up, the direct payment and set-aside premium would only palliative the short term problem. With the shortage of the exchequer, the deficiency could reveal. And the basic and essential trend of the future agricultural changeover pattern is to consider how to establish a competitive and distinctive operating prototype for our agriculture for the long-term solution. This research takes the important agricultural area of Koahsiung County in southern Taiwan as an example. The main topic of this research focuses on the production of the tropical fruit for the specialized agricultural products. Step by step aiming at internal advantage, disadvantage and external possibility, and threats. And examine the organizational environment for the research by collecting of documents and references, interviewing with related personnel and further having questionnaire from academics, experiment units, agricultural administration personnel, farmers¡¦ union (farmers¡¦ association), production-line & sales farmers. According to the result of the questionnaire, we have the following conclusion: 1: Overall evaluation (Tropical Fruit) found the following conclusion: (1) Top four tropical fruits that are considered to be most competitive in southern Taiwan, the first is Wax-apple, the second is Jin-Huang Mango, the third is Guava and the forth is Lychee with over 50% identification. (2) The less competitive is Longan at ninth position (14.2%) with the less identification percentage. 2: We have the following conclusion after analyzing each characters of SWOT on its identification level: (1) For the Strength we found (S) that the weather condition in southern Taiwan is beneficial local tropical fruit planting and has more confident in technological and quality aspects. (2) For the Weakness (W) we found that that having high labor cost, lacking marketing personnel, petty farmland, and aging population are becoming growing burden. (3) In the Opportunity (O) we found that by establishing quality brand, diversifying operation and strategic alliance, referring the experience from member nations, create business possibility for weekend holiday as to change the operating style and method for strategic direction. (4) In The Threats (T) we found that under the pressure of being threatened with foreign low cost, abundance and diverse agriculture products by developed member countries in WTO, and production circle and nature condition etc. are also to be concerned in order to break through for the strategic direction decision. To sum up, this research hope to bring out and present a correct strategic direction with eight concrete policy and ten advisement for the agricultural policy department to follow the right direction to suit the agriculture operation style for both government related agricultural governing body and farmer to face and challenge the coming impact for our agricultural development after joining WTO.
