Nancy King's Research in Collaboration with Affiliate Faculty Kishani Kalupahana Accepted for Publication
By Hong Nguyen
 After a year and a half of research and collaboration between King, a business law associate professor and Kalupahana, an affiliate faculty, their article, "Liberalization vs. Regulatory Autonomy under GATS: Implications of US-Gambling for Trade in Cross-Border E-Services" has been accepted for publication by the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law, forthcoming in November 2007.
The paper examines the tension between the multilateral goal of expanding trade in services under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and WTO members' abilities to adopt and enforce laws to regulate their services sectors; laws which may also have the effect of protecting a country's domestic services industries from competition from abroad.
"It was great to have an Affiliate Faculty from our own College of Business working with me on this research," said King. "Kalupahana's graduate education in international commercial law and her professional experience with WTO implementation issues really helped this paper."
