Inside Look:

With the negotiation of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), the policies affecting access to, and conditions of competition in, service markets are today firmly rooted in the multilateral trading system. Written with policymakers and practitioners in mind, the essays in this volume address some of the most pressing questions arising in services trade today—some of which were not addressed by the first generation of GATS negotiators.

Pierre Sauvé is head of the Trade Policy Linkages Division of the OECD Trade Directorate in Paris. Robert M. Stern is professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan.
