With
the 'request-offer' process
in the GATS negotiations underway, developing
countries face intense pressure for progressive
liberalisation. This paper argues that
since the so-called regulatory flexibility
offered by the GATS to developing countries
could turn out to be mostly illusory,
they should adopt the most gradual approach
possible when it comes to the offers to
be made and guard against trade-offs in
social sectors. It also highlights the
crucial implications of the parallel processes
of liberalization taking place under various
programmes of the international institutions
as well as through free trade agreements.
