Abstract:
This study focuses on the application of international treaty, especially the WTO Agreement in China. The study generally clarifies the theories on the problem of treaty application and supports the further development of these theories. It also opens a window to foreign investors and researchers, who are affected by and interested in economic law practice in China. Furthermore, the investigation and conclusion should be suggestive and contribute to the current legal reform and the adjudicating work of Chinese judges in this field.
After a short introduction in the first chapter, the second chapter introduces the arduous course of China’s WTO accession from 1946 to 2001 in four phases. The third chapter systematically introduces the relationship between international law and domestic law and the theories of the problem of the application of treaty in western academics. The fourth chapter researches the Chinese approach on the application of treaty. Based on the result of this chapter, the fifth chapter does comprehensive analysis on the application of the WTO Agreement in China. In Chapter Six, the author gives a conclusion on all the results investigated above.
