In addition, the chapters discuss whether the differences and similarities (if any) are evidence of greater coherence or greater divergence. The book combines the individual analyses to provide a more comprehensive picture of the current law on services trade liberalisation. A quarter of a century after the conclusion of the General Agreement on Trade and Services (GATS), international law on trade in services is still in a state of flux: on the one hand, countries increasingly conclude bilateral and regional trade agreements with sections on trade in services that aim at a further liberalisation of services trade. On the other, the GATS structure remains the dominant model and serves as the basis for many preferential trade agreements. In addition, new aspects such as electronic commerce, data protection and taxation are now emerging, while issues that had already manifested in the mid-1990s such as financial services regulation, labour mobility, and telecommunications continue to be problematic. Usually, the debates focus on the question of whether preferential trade agreements serve as a stepping-stone or stumbling block for trade liberalisation at the multilateral level. However, it can be assumed that rules on trade in services in preferential trade agreements will coexist with the global GATS regime for the foreseeable future. This raises the question of whether we?re currently witnessing a drive towards greater coherence or more divergence in agreements on trade in services. 410 0$aSpecial Issue,$x2510-6880 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade 606 $aCommercial law$xEuropean Economic Community countries 606 $aInternational economics 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050 606 $aEuropean Economic Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20020 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade. 615 0$aCommercial law$xEuropean Economic Community countries. 615 0$aInternational economics. 615 14$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aEuropean Economic Law. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 676 $a338.9 702 $aHoffmann$b Rhea Tamara$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKrajewski$b Markus$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411952403321 996 $aCoherence and Divergence in Services Trade Law$92201491 997 $aUNINA
