It is a next-generation economic negotiation that breaks the mould of traditional trade agreements. At the heart of the ongoing talks is the question whether and in which areas the two major democratic actors in the global economy can address costly frictions generated by their deep commercial integration by aligning rules and other instruments. The aim is to reduce duplication in various ways in areas where levels of regulatory protection are equivalent as well as to foster wide-ranging regulatory cooperation and set a benchmark for high-quality global norms. In this volume, European and American experts explain the economic context of TTIP and its geopolitical implications, and then explore the challenges and consequences of US-EU negotiations across numerous sensitive areas, ranging from food safety and public procurement to economic and regulatory assessments of technical barriers to trade, automotive, chemicals, energy, services, investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms and regulatory cooperation. Their insights cut through the confusion and tremendous public controversies now swirling around TTIP, and help decision-makers understand how the United States and the European Union can remain rule-makers rather than rule-takers in a globalising world in which their relative influence is waning."--Centre for European Policy Studies website Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (Centre for European Policy Studies, viewed September 11, 2015) SUBJECT Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014169424 Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership fast Subject Non-tariff trade barriers -- Law and legislation -- European Union countries Non-tariff trade barriers -- Law and legislation -- United States Trade regulation -- United States Trade regulation -- European Union countries BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- International -- Economics.
