「民以食為天,食以安為先」,糧食是人類賴以生存的物質基礎,人類生存的基本需求就是糧食,同時也是維持國家社會安定的先決條件。在全球化環境之下,現代政府絕對無法避免面對跨區域性、國際化同步治理的各項挑戰。近年來國內外食品安全事件風波不斷,食品安全問題已成為大眾最關心的議題,食品安全事件的發生,不僅對國人健康造成危害,更可能對產業發展與國家經濟形成重大的影響,狂牛病和禽流感等人畜共患病事件持續不斷發生,亦導致消費者恐慌與擔憂。在國際競爭環境中,各國的經貿政策往往具有相互的影響性,於食品安全與經濟貿易間的關係除了消費者的健康和國家經貿利益之外,更有其政治性的一面。 本論文分緒論、本論及結論三大部分。第一章緒論部分說明研究之動機與目的。第二章至第四章為本論部份,在風險社會概念下,食品貿易的複雜化將人類置身於食品安全風險之中,不僅使得食品相關業者受到衝擊,也引發公眾對食品安全的疑慮和恐慌。次之就現行國際貿易與食品政治之關係予以檢視,進而以禽流感與美國牛肉進口案例來檢視我國現行的立法模式及管理制度,最後為結論提出看法與建議。
