Abstract: WTO에서 전자상거래 논의가 시작된 이후 국제사회에서는 디지털무역에 대한 정립을 다양한 각도에서 시도하고자 노력하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직까지 국제사회에서 다자관계에 적용될 통일된 규범이나 시스템은 마련되지 못하였으며, 대부분은 양자 또는 일부 국가들 사이에서 체결되는 협정들로 이를 규율하고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 국제사회의 현실에서 새로운 도전이 될 디지털무역 분야를 규율하는 규범체제는 어떤 형식으로 체결될 것이며, 어떤 내용을 포함하게 될 것인가? 이 연구는 지금까지 체결된 주요 디지털통상협정의 형식과 내용을 분석함으로써 우리나라 디지털통상협정의 표준 모델을 구축하기 위해 고려해야 할 요소들을 제안하고자 한다. The purpose of this research is to provide necessary information to prepare a basic model law for the digital trade agreement that Korea will conclude. And more, this study analyzes the “forms and contents” of several digital trade agreements concluded so far, and presents practical considerations that need to be reviewed from a legal and policy perspective when Korea has a chance to conclude digital trade agreements in the future. To this end, Chapter 2 presents specific grounds to establish the Korean digital trade agreement model at the formal or structural level. This is a formal and structural approach to consider for setting the model of digital trade agreements. To solve this problem, this study conducts a detailed review in two main aspects. First of all, the implications of the multilateral discussions on the digital trade agreement will be analyzed. Through this study, it is possible to examine the various forms or structures of digital trade agreements that appear in multilateral discussions themselves. On the other hand, what needs to be addressed in the process of forming a more realistic model is the formal aspect of digital trade agreements through bilateral, regional and plurilateral agreements or multilateral agreements. This approach will be the most realistic solution for Korea or most countries. In particular, there are various types for regulating digital trade through bilateral, regional and plurilateral agreements or multilateral agreements, such as those attached as part of FTAs or RTAs, and those concluded as independent trade agreements regardless of FTAs such as DEPA or KSDPA. Therefore, Chapter 2 presents various trade legal and policy implications, such as the meaning and characteristics of digital trade agreements concluded in different forms, and problems according to the legal perspectives of the agreement itself, which helps Korea set a model agreement.(the rest omitted)
