摘要

Abstract

Regional trade agreements (RTAs) represent a critical mechanism for advancing global economic cooperation and fostering high-quality economic development. This paper examines the current state of RTAs

focusing on their impact on the resilience of global supply chains

as well as the mechanisms and pathways for enhancing this resilience. The study finds that the deepening of RTAs significantly strengthens global supply chain resilience by reducing transaction costs

stimulating market competition that drives technological innovation

and enhancing the depth of global trade networks. In response to the trend of the networked development of RTAs

it is essential to actively engage with and establish high-standard regional trade rules to address global supply chain crises. This paper provides theoretical evidence for optimizing regional business environments and enhancing global supply chain resilience through institutional openness.
