Developing nations gain leverage in global trade negotiations
The paper looks at how developing countries are involved in negotiations about services at the World Trade Organization. It examines what these countries are asking for, what they are offering, and how they are talking with other countries. The main points are: services are important for developing economies, trade barriers are costly, opening up to trade can bring benefits, using the WTO can help with making rules at home, changing regulations is hard but necessary, and seeking more trade opportunities can help developing countries grow.
