Abstract

The assessment of intangible asset flows with a high level of accuracy is still a challenging analytical and methodological issue. Despite the growth in terms of internationalization the share of this flow still remains below the potential that could be exploited. The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the extent to which commitments have been made by the Member States of the WTO, in order to be able to capture the most sustainable operational trends at international level. In order to achieve the highest level of methodological relevance, the author stressed some effects of the challenges arising from current level of globalization. Confirming the hypotheses assumed, the research shows that the issues analyzed have put significant emphasis on securing better commitments on the temporary movement of natural persons, especially for those categories “delinked†from commercial presence.
