N2 - This summer saw some of the key emerging economies change their position on services negotiations at the WTO and may prove instrumental in bringing services back to the WTO, via TiSA. While TiSA parties have discussed critical mass based multilateralization for a while, another approach may prove to be more viable - "incrementalism" and "quasi-multilateralization" – as it adopts a long-term, multilayered perspective that encompasses interests in retaining control and maintaining leverage, while ensuring substance on services commitments and disciplines to feed into the discussions as more members open up to negotiating services at the WTO.
