- Abstract
The cross border activity in relation to both goods and services is the order of the day in today's global economy. International trade in goods and services has long been a norm, for various benefits that accrue from it. There have been many bilateral and multilateral agreements in relation to cross border trade negotiations. The services sectorgrowth that positively affects the day-to-day life and standards of living or quality of life. The World Trade Organization (WTO) of which more than 144 countries are members, has an agreement in relation to international services trade. The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is the WTO's agreement that governs trade in 12 kinds of services, including 'education services'. Every WTO member that proposes to liberalize its 'higher education services' sector has to frame the 'commitments' by stipulating certain conditions or limitations as to its policy on such liberalization. Depending on certain national or regional objectives and the conditions of demand and supply of higher education, each member would lay down different kinds of conditions while liberalizing the sector to foreign educational institutions. One of the critical questions or issues in this regard would be in relation to the kind of university to be allowed to set up its campus or branch or otherwise offer education services. The question raised here is should WTO members of Pro-education Services Liberalization allow Foreign Private Universities or Foreign Public Universities? This paper would attempt to provide some possible insights into this issue. Internationalization and globalization are the two Global concepts terms interchangeably used in terms of higher education.
