Services: A 'Deal-Maker' in the Doha Round?

Abstract

This book presents insights from some of the world's leading trade policy scholars on the difficulties facing the world trade system in general, and the Doha Round trade negotiations in particular.

New issues such as services are much more complicated than simple trade liberalisation of manufacturing sectors. Chapter 3 of the Report (by Philippa Dee and Christopher Findlay) shows why service sectors differ from traditional manufacturing industries and so require different treatment in negotiations. For many service sectors, domestic liberalisation is required before access by foreign firms (that is, national treatment) is useful. Because of this, the Report argues, services may not be the area to lead concessions and ultimately a successful Doha round.
