Políticas de liberalização do comércio de serviços (“GATS”) com regulação redistributiva um bolero de ravel?

Abstract

The unprecedented crisis affecting the international economy caused, to a large extent, by the unconditional faith in certain neoliberal dogmas, reinforces the need for the economic regulation. Given its special nature, one cannot fully understand the services sector without taking due regard of the importance of a regulatory framework well structured and attuned with social inclusion needs of countries population as a whole. The reflections on a redistributive regulation in the services sector may eventually inspire the adoption of control and monitoring mechanisms on certain financial and economic activities which have been operating based on the immovable faith in the self-regulation ability of the markets.
