The Regulation of International Trade, Volume 3 : The General Agreement on Trade in Services
A comprehensive analysis of GATS that considers its historical context, the national preferences that shaped it, and a path to a GATS 2.0.The previous two volumes in The Regulation of International Trade analyzed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the first successful agreement to generate multilateral trade liberalization, and the World Trade Organization (WTO), for which the GATT laid the groundwork.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. Mavroidis 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.

International Trade in Services : Effective Practice and Policy
"In 2012, U.S. and European firms accounted for the highest share of revenue generated by the top international architecture and engineering firms in Africa, at 27 and 31 percent, respectively," according to a U.S.International Trade Commission trade brief. These findings show that the growth of company revenues in an overseas market does not just have to depend on the sale of manufactured products or agricultural commodities.Opportunities also exist for service providers. International Trade in Services: Effective Practice and Policy addresses a reality that receives minimal attention in the current debate about international trade—how the export and import of services drive a significant portion of international trade.The United States has a US$269 billion surplus in trade in services with the world.On other hand, U.S. trade in goods with the world continues to experience a wide trade deficit of US$946 billion.Nevertheless, U.S. policy response focuses mainly on the manufacturing and agricultural sectors.In addition, as an international trade educator in business schools at different universities, many of the textbooks emphasize the various aspects of importing and exporting goods.Workshops aimed to educate and inform the business community also focus on the trade in goods.Consequently, business students and practitioners miss another important component of international trade that presents opportunities—trade in services.The book provides a simple, yet thorough, introduction on how to export a service to an overseas market.The book will guide its audience with a step-by-step process on exporting a service from research to strategy to implementation.Furthermore, the book will highlight the opportunities presented by the international-level General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and bilateral and regional-level reciprocal trade agreements.Service providers will be able to use the book as a guide to start the export process successfully with the first step.Essentially, the book will provide results in the following areas: Time saving—The step-by-step process, which highlights various programs, and the list of key resources will save future exporters of a service the time that they would spend trying to just understand another market. Frustration reduction—The book’s outline of the formal mechanisms available to service exporters will save them from the frustration that may arise from encountering trade practices, some of which can also be very costly, in different markets that make it difficult to compete against local service providers. Money saving—Having substantive knowledge of formal mechanisms and key resources that help to reduce the risks associated with exporting to another market, such as not receiving payment, will help the services-based exporter to use its financial resources more efficiently while reducing its risk of nonpayment.

International Trade and the Music Industry : Live Music Services from the Caribbean

Is cosmetic foot care considered a trade or not?
Cosmetic foot care can be considered a trade as it involves specialized skills and knowledge related to the care and maintenance of feet for aesthetic purposes. Professionals in this field, such as pedicurists or podiatrists, undergo training and certification to provide services like nail care, callus removal, and foot massages. However, some may argue that cosmetic foot care is more of a service or a form of personal care rather than a traditional trade like carpentry or plumbing. Ultimately, the classification may vary depending on the context and perspective.
