Impact statement: This review assesses a major edited volume on WTO law and trade in services. Even though Cambridge does not provide a formal abstract for this book review, the preview and bibliographic description show that the book is a large collection of work on services trade under the multilateral trading system. The review is therefore important for understanding the legal, institutional, and policy dimensions of the GATS and the broader development of international trade in services.
