Book Synopsis
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) has mandated increasing openness in the provision of health services around the world. Aimed at policy makers in both the health and trade ministries, this volume examines some of the risks and opportunities for population health and human development brought about by GATS specifically, and by the lowering of trade barriers generally. Eight contributions from academics and practitioners consider the legal aspects of making commitments under GATS and provide a framework for determining whether or not liberalization in health services will contribute to economic welfare. Editor Blouin is affiliated with the North-South Institute. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
