Beskrivning
The past few decades have witnessed a growth in the importance of services in the economy, yet until the 1980s, scholarly literature on the expanding role of trade in services in the world economy remained scarce. This timely research review, edited by a leading analyst in the field, brings together seminal works on the WTO and trade in services published in the last twenty-five years. Areas covered in this important set include the determinants and patterns of trade in services, services in regional integration agreements and the GATS. This book will be of immense value to scholars and practitioners interested in this evolving and increasingly relevant field of study.

Recensioner i media

’[A] comprehensive collection of 48 articles on trade in services spanning the period from 1985 to 2009, is a timely addition to the existing literature on the subject. . . This book is truly multidisciplinary in its approach. Its articles include contributions from leading academics, legal practitioners, national policymakers, and staff of the European Commission, WTO, and the World Bank. . . The introduction presents a splendid overview of the articles featured in the book. He not only succinctly summarises the main findings of each of the articles but also very aptly introduces the reader to the important relevant works on the topics covered in these articles. . . Reviewing a book consisting of so many articles by various authors in less than a thousand words is by no means an easy task and it entails the unfortunate omission of even merely mentioning brilliant individual articles which warrant discussion. This is in a way testament of the complexity of the task that the editor might have faced in selecting and commenting on articles covering a period of almost a quarter of a century. He must be highly commended for performing those tasks very successfully as the articles, as diverse as they are, seem to fit together. . . Because of the coverage of very well written articles by lawyers, economists, scholars of international relations, public policy, and political science, the book would be significant for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. . . the book would be an invaluable tool for undertaking any comprehensive research on the global trade in services. In view of its all-embracing scope, this book may well be an essential beginning point for researchers on trade in services for a considerable period of time.’
