THE IMPACT OF ICT AND GLOBALİZATİON ON TRADE İN SERVİCES

Summary/Abstract: The services sector nowadays has expanded in scope beyond the traditional activities in finance, transport, travel and telecommunication and audio-visual services to a host of professional services, such as software and information services, engineering and legal services, e-commerce and other internet-based service offerings. At the post second world war period, the growth of services have shown a dramatic increase in most of the developed countries of the world. This growth was driven largely by advances in information technology and telecommunications, and has created new sectors. Some of these are electronic communication, scanning information, finance, e-trade, etc. The increase in the usage of personel computers and internet have caused these sectors to develop by forming new subsectors. Computerized storage of data and the remote delivery of services by means of electronic communication, have helped to increase tradability of services. Investments towards trade in services will be driving force in coming years to increase employment and development of economies. In addition, these developments will pass through among countries. Turkey as a developing country has a good performance in services sector. This performance has indications of being one of the developed countries of the world for Turkey. The purpose of this study is to show the effects of ICT and globalisation on service trade and evaluate the position of Turkey.
