Abstract
As the previous chapter demonstrated, arrangements for facilitating and monitoring international transportation by sea and air have evolved over many decades. Other regimes involving postal, telegraph, and broadcast linkages among countries have also been in operation for many years. However, technological changes in telecommunications and the growth of other types of international services, particularly financial services, during recent decades have placed new demands on existing regimes and have led to new and more comprehensive approaches to international communications and services linkages. The issues raised by these developments, and the contemporary regimes responses’ to them, are surveyed in this chapter.
