The Politics of Transatlantic Trade Negotiations

’This volume addresses a crucial issue of global and interregional trade governance by including an international team of leading scholars from a variety of disciplines and viewpoints. Collectively the authors identify the major stakes and provide a comprehensive and highly competent overview of the main political implications of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations from both sides (North America and Europe), while keeping in mind the controversial interplay with global governance and emergent economies. Highly recommended for students, scholars, practitioners and informed citizens looking for critical and solid orientation in a very sensitive and uncertain matter.’ Pascal Lamy, President emeritus of the Paris-based think tank ’Notre Europe’, Jacques Delors Institute, former Director General of the World Trade Organization and European Commissioner for Trade

’TTIP promises to generate significant yet still uncertain implications for transatlantic relations, global governance and the international rules-based order. This volume breaks new ground by helping readers understand the theoretical aspects of TTIP, its meaning for the United States and Europe, and its impact on third countries and multilateral institutions.’ Daniel S. Hamilton, Johns Hopkins University SAIS, USA

’A timely, multi-disciplinary collection on an important subject, this volume will serve as a great starting point for students and scholars trying to make sense of the controversies surrounding the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.’ Amrita Narlikar, GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, Germany
