Trade Policy and Labor Rights: Competition and Convergence
Event Title: Trade Policy and Labor Rights: Competition and Convergence
Introduction to the Event:
Amid the restructuring of global supply chains and intensifying geopolitical competition, trade policy is no longer limited to tariff reductions. It has increasingly become an important policy instrument for advancing labor rights protection and human rights standards. The National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University School of Law and the International Center for Cultural Studies (ICCS) have long been concerned with this issue and have continued to explore related institutional developments. This event is organized by ICCS Subproject III, “Migration, Unequal Citizenship, and Critical Legal Studies,” and features Associate Professor Ying-Jun Lin of the Fu Jen Catholic University School of Law as the keynote speaker. The event will be moderated by Associate Professor Yu-Fan Chiu, the principal investigator of the project, with Attorney Yen-Po Chen of InfoShare Tech Law Office and Bonny Ling, Executive Director of Work Better Innovations, serving as discussants. Together, they will explore the complex relationship between trade policy and labor rights protection. This lecture will approach the issue from the perspective of international trade law, analyzing the interaction between trade liberalization and labor rights protection, while also examining the development and institutional implications of labor provisions in contemporary trade agreements.
Associate Professor Ying-Jun Lin specializes in international economic and trade law and regional economic integration. Drawing on the perspective of international trade law, she will discuss how trade policy, in the context of global supply chain restructuring, interacts with labor rights protection, and will further guide us in reflecting on issues such as forced labor, supply chain governance, and geoeconomic competition.

活動名稱：貿易政策與勞動權益的競與合
活動簡介：
在全球供應鏈重組與地緣政治競逐的浪潮下，貿易政策不再僅限於關稅減讓，而逐漸成為推動勞動權益保障與人權標準的重要政策工具。國立陽明交通大學科技法律學院與文化研究國際中心（ICCS）長期關注此一議題，並持續探討相關制度發展。本次活動由ICCS子計畫三「遷移、不平等公民、批判法律研究」邀請輔仁大學法律學院林映均副教授主講，並由計畫主持人邱羽凡副教授主持，以及由益思科技法律事務所陳言博律師及 Work Better Innovations 執行長凌怡華博士擔任與談人，共同探討貿易政策與勞動權益保障之間的競合關係。本次演講將從國際貿易法的視角出發，分析貿易自由化與勞動權益保障之間的互動，並檢視當代貿易協定中勞動條款的發展與制度意涵。
林映均老師專精於國際經貿法與區域經濟整合，將從國際貿易法的視角出發，探討全球供應鏈重組下，貿易政策如何與勞動權益保障產生競合關係，並進一步帶領我們思考強迫勞動、供應鏈治理與地緣經濟競爭等議題。
