ACE brief on GATS and Higher Ed.

This [not-so] brief discussion of higher education and the General Agreement on Trade in Service (GATS) presents an overview of GATS and implications for higher education. Trade in higher education services has grown over the last few years into a global market estimated at $30 billion in 1999. The United States earned an estimated $8.5 billion from this trade in 1997, making it the country's fifth largest service export.
