Education and media services have much in common. Both provide
services that embody local cultures, in which there is extensive
public sector participation and significant domestic regulation. At
the same time, both are dramatically affected by the information
and communications technology revolution. The production of
information content now involves huge costs in terms of research
and development or artistic talent, whilst the cost of making such
products available to other consumers is very low. This in turn
challenges the effectiveness of domestic regulation and raises
fundamental questions about its purpose, calling for an increased
scope for international trade and investment, and the development
of supply chains.Yet, both areas are lightly committed in
international trade agreements like the GATS. This lack of
commitment and the lack of additional impact from negotiations in
bilateral discriminatory trade agreements are cross-cutting themes
in the book.Trade Policy in Asia responds to these issues to
provide readers with a comprehensive and consistent treatment of
policy in the higher education and media services sector across a
range of Asian economies little studied in the existing literature.
The book opens the discussion with an overview of global trends in
each area, followed by detailed, country-specific studies. Through
comparative work, it identifies common elements across these
sectors and highlights critical implications for trade
policy.Education services themes include the growth and impediments
involved in various forms of trade and investment; the emergence of
a 'new wave' of globalization; obstacles faced by domestic
providers in supplying services; a common ambition to become an
education services hub for international students; and the scope
for greater international cooperation in research.Media services
themes include the impact of new technology on options for content
delivery and the associated problems for policy implementation and
copyright protection, and the new challenges of globalization for
social goals relating to local cultures, as well as risks involved
in implementing policies that pursue these goals.
