Traditionally considered essential services provided by a state to its citizens, public services are often viewed as public goods which embody social values. Subjecting them to market ideology thus raises concerns that the intrinsic social nature of these services will be negated. Moreover, as those most likely to be reliant on public services, public service liberalization may also further marginalize women. Nevertheless, states continue to increasingly liberalize public services. Barnali Choudhury explores the implications of public service liberalization. Using primarily a legal approach, but drawing from case studies, empirical research and gender theories, she examines whether liberalization under the General Agreement on Trade in Services and other liberalization vehicles such as preferential trade and investment agreements compromise human rights and gender objectives. 410 0$aCambridge international trade and economic law. 517 3 $aPublic Services & International Trade Liberalization 606 $aService industries$xLaw and legislation 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$xLaw and legislation 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aWomen's rights 615 0$aService industries$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aWomen's rights. 676 $a382/.92 686 $aLAW051000$2bisacsh 700 $aChoudhury$b Barnali$f1974-$01431088 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827666603321 996 $aPublic services and international trade liberalization$94116764 997 $aUNINA
