The Wto Trade-related Investment Measures Agreement,

International trade, international investment and international finance activities have promoted the process of the economic globalization during the past 20 years. The freedom movement of the capital, goods, labor service and information surmounting the national boundaries has realized the best disposition of resources. But at the same time in consideration of each country' s own interests, the view on the same thing is often far from each other, therefore it has brought various contradictions and conflicts, Not merely between the developed countries, and the developed countries and developing countries. They also exist between developing countries. These contradictions and conflicts have influenced the process of the economic globalization, and damaged the benefits of both sides too at the same time. For the common interests, it is necessary to set up some coordination mechanisms, organizations, rules and systems to coordinate the contradictions and conflicts urgently. Under this kind of background, World Trade Organization, World Bank, International Monetary Fund etc arised at the historic moment, and has made the corresponding international economic relation rule, which have offered comparatively favorable international environment and condition for economic development of various countries objectively.The formation of these unified international economic rules, system and order, met the needs of internationalization of the capital and production at that time, However, through the operation of decades, these systems and orders do not meet the needs of new situation and request, the voice of reforming the rule and agreement on international trade and investment have grown to even greater heights.
