会议失败的影响是继亚洲金融危机后,对全球化的又一次挫伤。西雅图会议期间,声势浩大的抗议活动表明了人们对全球化的担忧,自由贸易、资本自由流动、全球共同繁荣的理念在西方内部受到冲击。这说明两方面问题:一是全球化带给各国、各阶层的利益迥异。民意测验显示,美年收入在2万美元以下的家庭中,54％的人被自由贸易协议所伤害;而收入在5万美元以上的家庭中,只有25％的人受到伤害。全球化在更多损害发展 The impact of the conference’s failure was another dampening of globalization following the Asian financial crisis. During the Seattle conference, the massive protests showed that people are worried about globalization. Free trade, the free flow of capital and the idea of ​​global common prosperity have been attacked in the West. This shows two issues: First, globalization brings different countries with different interests at all levels. Opinion polls show that 54% of Americans whose families earn less than $ 20,000 a U.S. are hurt by free-trade agreements; only 25% of those who earn more than $ 50,000 are harmed.
