Analyzing Ecological Impact Of International Trade

International trade is one of the ways of economic exchanges between countries, which promotes the economic development of the countries, and propels the process of economic globalization, but the environmental problem has become increasingly serious. It is not enough to analyze international trade only from the angle of economics; we urgently need to analyze from the perspective of ecology. From the historical process, we concluded that international trade relies on technology to develop its own continuous improvement, drawing energy from the natural ecosystem to meet social ecological system continuously. The ecological nature of international trade is the energy flow. The spatial niche of international trade is the bridge at position, and the functional niche is link between natural ecosystem and social ecosystem.With the development of technology, the scale and speed of international trade from production to sales continue to increase; transformation of energy from natural ecosystems exceeded the limits of the system itself. The original balance of the natural ecological system has been broken. International trade impacts on natural ecosystems include three aspects: first, the energy flow hidden in the international trade has a direct impact on the natural ecological system of various countries. The high entropy energy of the transport process has upset the original balance of the natural ecological system. The alienation of technology has brought about the alienation of trade, and the high tech products are harmful to the ecosystem. Secondly, trade transport and human beings’ excessive demand for the diversification of commodities break the species niche and endanger the biological diversity and species life. Finally, with the human as object service export, it would result in human rights violations. The subject of trade makes the pursuit of wealth as the goal, which cut off the close relationship between people and the natural, ignoring the nature of human.In the social-ecological systems, the international trade has multiple effects to the economy, politics and culture. The international trade is the exchange process in the economic operation, coordinating the production, distribution and consumption of the economic system, so that the economic system is developed to the ecological integration. Transnational corporations as a subject of international trade, production factors and commodity sales are in the world space, breaking the boundaries of the country where the company is. Transnational corporations rely on economic means to interfere with politics, broke through the range of the economic system, and spread to politics. The influence of culture-oriented commodities trade directly affects all aspects of the society. Countries’ cultures in the world are blended together through international trade. At the same time, the phenomenon of foreign cultural invading their traditional culture is not conducive to the sustainable development of human cultural diversity. Because of interest, to violate the liberty equality of ethical spirit and the fair justice often occurs in the process of the international trade.
