Guide

This is the second volume in The Atwater Series on the World Information Economy. The first -- International Transactions in Services: The Politics of Transborder Data Flows by Karl P. Sauvant -- was a comprehensive review of the international policy discussion on services and data services up to 1985. Since then, there have been a number of developments which form the background against which the present volume must be seen.

In September 1986, ministers from 92 countries met in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and agreed to inaugurate a new round of multilateral trade negotiations: the Uruguay Round. For the first time, they also agreed that, in addition to the customary negotiations on trade in goods, there should be 'parallel-track' negotiations on trade in services. This volume addresses some of the most fundamental issues raised by the discussion on an international framework for trade in services and, in particular, these issues in the context of a core sector in international service transactions: telecommunication and data services.

The recent merging of the technologies of computing and telecommunication has had several major consequences, one of which is the increase in tradeability of 'information-intensive' services -- examples are banking, insurance, advertising, tourism and consultancy services of various sorts. This increase in tradeability and the consequent increase in the share of services in world trade, coupled with the rapidly rising proportion of services in the GNP of most countries, has made trade in services in general and trade in telecommunication and data services in particular high-priority items on the international agenda. Also high on the international agenda is the need for and nature of the rules, regulations or disciplines necessary to cover international telecommunication and data services in an era of unprecedented technological change. While questions relating to trade are being discussed mainly under the auspices of the Uruguay Round, questions relating to regulatory change are being discussed mainly under the auspices of the International Telecommunication Union.

There is clearly a need for greater understanding of the issues involved, for conceptual clarification, and for bridge building among the divergent interests and positions. This volume is a partial response to these needs. The approach taken is to explain each issue or concept, to examine its role in trade in services generally, and to analyze its implications for trade in telecommunication and data services specifically. Each issue is addressed by a recognized international expert, and the concerns of both developed and developing countries are taken into account

The aim of the Atwater Series is to stimulate serious, informed and constructive discussion on public policy in the information and communication area. The only criterion by which contributions to it should be judged is whether they succeed in facilitating such discussion. We hope that you feel as we do that the present volume passes this test.
