International Trade in Services—Editorial Introduction

This special issue of JITC focuses on the globalization of trade in services and the effects on small open economies. It looks at a number of issues relating to international trade in services to re-evaluate the degree to which services are traded and tradable, the degree to which such trade is increasing, the implications of globalization and off-shoring and the policy responses required both to foster international integration in services and to react to the likely economic implications.
