In this third volume, Petros Mavroidis turns to the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), a WTO treaty that took effect in 1995, and offers a comprehensive analysis that considers the historical context of the GATS, the national preferences that shaped it, and a path to a GATS 2.0.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMavroidis examines the GATS through its negotiating record, considering whether the GATS as it is can appropriately address the concerns of the world trading community. The GATS deals exclusively with non-tariff barriers (NTBs)—precisely the instrument that the WTO has not managed to tame—and one of some significance in light of the digital revolution, which has enlarged the scope of cross-border transactions in which neither supplier nor consumer needs to travel for a service to be consumed. Mavroidis argues that the GATS has brought about a platform to liberalize services, and has locked in some pre-GATS liberalization. What is missing, he contends, is a “GATS-Think” that would generate liberalization from now on.\u003c\/p\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003ePart One The Advent of GATS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Before the GATS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Negotiating the GATS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Property Rights in the GATS\u003cbr\u003eConclusions to Part One\u003cbr\u003ePart Two The GATS Disciplines and Institutions\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The Integration Model and Design of GATS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Scope of GATS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Domestic Regulation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Most Favoured Nation (MFN)\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Remaining General Obligations\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Specific Commitments\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Transparency\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: Exceptions and Deviations\u003cbr\u003eConclusions to Part Two\u003cbr\u003ePart Three Sector-Specific Analysis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Financial Services\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Telecoms\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Transportation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: Labor Mobility\u003cbr\u003eConclusions to Part Three\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: GATS and Beyond\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndexPetros C.
