| description |
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is
today dealing with an issue that lies at the interface of
two major challenges the world faces, trade liberalization
and international migration. Greater freedom for the
"temporary movement of individual service
suppliers" is being negotiated under the General
Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). Conditions in many
developed economies - ranging from aging populations, to
shortages of skilled labor - suggest that this may be a
propitious time to put labor mobility, squarely on the
negotiating agenda. Yet, there is limited awareness of how
the GATS mechanism can be used to foster liberalization in
this area of services trade. At the same time there is great
concern, about the possible social disruption in host
countries, and brain drain from poor countries. As a first
step in improving our understanding of the implications of
such liberalization, this volume brings together
contributions from service providers, regulators,
researchers and trade negotiators. They provide different
perspectives on one central question: how is such
liberalization best accomplished, in a way that benefits
both home, and host countries? The result, combining
insights from economics, law and politics, is bound to be a
vital input into the WTO services negotiations, as well as
the broader debate on the subject. |
