Since the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) was created
in 1995, there has been international pressure towards the
liberalization of education all over the world, as well as new
challenges to the traditional internationalization rationale in the
field of higher education. Nevertheless, education liberalization
under the GATS is also a contested process. Public universities,
teachers unions, development NGOs and other education stakeholders
have opposed and campaigned against the GATS in different countries
and at a range of levels from local to global. Based on intensive
fieldwork in the WTO headquarters and on two case studies
(Argentina and Chile), Antoni Verger opens the black-box of the
GATS negotiations in the field of education. His well-documented
work explores in-depth how domestic actors and interests are key to
understanding the constitution of the global education
liberalization process entailed by the GATS as well as the
opposition to this process in certain places. This book is crucial
reading to anyone with an interest in the future of higher
education.
