Narzędzia polityki handlowej w obszarze e-commerce

Abstract

Głównym celem artykułu jest specyfikacja narzędzi polityki handlowej w obszarze handlu elektronicznego. W analizie uwzględniono działania i regulacje właściwe dla tradycyjnej polityki handlowej oraz nowe bariery związane z technologią wykorzystywaną w transgranicznym handlu elektronicznym (CBEC). Dodatkowym celem jest zilustrowanie działań koordynacyjnych podejmowanych przez rządy państw na forum międzynarodowym i wkładu organizacji międzynarodowych w harmonizację regulacji dotyczących CBEC. W badaniu zastosowano metodę przeglądu literatury z baz: Scopus, Ebsco, ProQest i Web of Knowledge. Prześledzono działania głównych organizacji międzynarodowych oraz przeanalizowano akty prawne i inne dokumenty oficjalne. Dokonano syntezy wszystkich informacji i wyników badań oraz przedstawiono liczne wnioski szczegółowe. Ogólna teza mówi, iż stworzenie systemu zasad sprzyjającego długotrwałemu rozwojowi CBEC wymaga jeszcze wielu wysiłków, badań i jest bardzo skomplikowane, gdyż oznacza nie tylko wprowadzenie zasad wolnego handlu w tradycyjnym rozumieniu, ale równocześnie zapewnienie otwartego i bezpiecznego korzystania z technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych.

Trade policy measures in e-commerce

Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to identify trade policy measures and barriers in e-commerce. The analysis took account of the actions and regulations typical of traditional trade policy and new barriers related to the technology on which cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) is based. The addi- tional objective is to illustrate the coordination activities undertaken by governments at the international level and the contribution of international organizations to the harmonization of CBEC regulations. The study reviews literature form the Scopus, Ebsco, ProQest, and Web of Knowledge databases. The actions of international organizations were studied and legislative acts and other documents issued by them were analysed. All information and research results were syn- thesized and numerous detailed findings provided. The overall conclusion is that still much has to be done to establish a system of rules conducive to long-standing CBEC growth, which requires much further research and is very complicated as it requires not only introducing free trade rules in traditional meaning but also providing open and safe use of ICT.
