The Interaction between Investment and Services Chapters in Selected Regional trade Agreements
This report analyses the interactions between the investment and services chapters of 20 regional trade
agreements. It classifies agreements into two broad categories of NAFTA-inspired and GATS-inspired
agreements and identifies four major types of interaction between the investment and trade in services
chapters. The report then looks at the implications of the services/investment interface for levels of
investment protection and liberalisation.
