Hardback
Regulatory Autonomy and International Trade in Services
The EU Under GATS and RTAs
9781785364303 爱德华·埃尔加出版社
This book considers how the interplay between multilateral and preferential liberalisation of trade in services increasingly raises concerns, both from the perspective of the beneficiaries of such liberalisation (whose rights are uncertain) and that of regulators (whose regulatory autonomy is constrained). The author shows how these concerns lead to vast underutilisation of, and strong prejudices against, the benefits of services liberalisation. The book meticulously analyses and compares the EU's obligations under the GATS and the services chapters of several RTAs to finally assess the merits of the raised concerns.

尽管其重要性越来越重要，但RTA的法律审查仍然是一个欠发达的学术领域。本书考虑了服务贸易的多边和优先自由化之间的相互作用如何从这种自由化的受益者和监管机构的受益人的角度引起人们的关注。
With the application of a thorough article-by-article analysis, the author shows how these concerns lead to vast underutilisation of, and often prejudice against, the benefits of services liberalisation. The book meticulously analyses and compares the EU’s obligations under the GATS and the services chapters of several RTAs to finally assess the merits of the various concerns.
对于法律和相关学科的学生和学者来说，这本书将是宝贵的资源。寻求对该主题进行详细分析的政府官员以及寻找分析RTA规定的框架的政府官员也将很感兴趣。

Critical Acclaim
‘Trade integration in today’s world is largely a question of addressing divergent regulations, and services liberalization is at the apex of the discussion. For various reasons this issue is easier to address in clubs. The WTO is getting to grips with this emerging reality, and this book is a very timely contribution to what promises to be the motto in trade circles in the years to come.’
