For users who are familiar with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), similarities and differences are pointed out where relevant. Likewise, for users who are familiar with the balance-of-payments definition of 'trade', departures from the Agreement's coverage are explained. To stimulate further thinking about the core concepts and implications of the Agreement, several text boxes have been included to provide 'food for thought', and at the end of each chapter test questions have been added to recapitulate and ensure understanding of the core content.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Basic purpose and concepts\u003cbr\u003e Main building blocks: agreement, annexes, and schedules\u003cbr\u003e A closer look at domestic regulation\u003cbr\u003e How the GATS is administered\u003cbr\u003e Role and responsibilities of member governments\u003cbr\u003e The challenges ahead\u003cbr\u003e Preparing requests and offers\u003cbr\u003e Misconceptions about the GATS\u003cbr\u003e A.I Understanding your country's services trade\u003cbr\u003e A.II Relevant services statistics and classifications\u003cbr\u003e A.III General Agreement on Trade in Services.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: International economic \u0026amp; trade law [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on International economic \u0026amp; trade law\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22International%20economic%20\u0026amp;%20trade%20law%20%5BLBBM%5D%22\"\u003eLBBM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46129248370968,"sku":"9780521615679","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521615679i.jpg?v=1691666461","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-handbook-on-the-gats-agreement-a-wto-secretariat-publication-paperback-9780521615679","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
