Commentaries on World Trade Law Volume 5: Trade in Services

In today’s global economy, services make up a significant part of trade flows between countries. These include particularly dynamic sectors such as finance and the digital economy. The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) sets out the multilateral rules of world trade law for trade in services – the essential framework for understanding how international law liberalises the exchange of services between WTO Members. In this volume, renowned scholars and practitioners explain the rules of the GATS in detail, including a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of WTO jurisprudence and scholarship.
