Preface and Acknowledgements
Dramatic changes in perceptions and interests on both sides of the Atlantic are testing norms and values that gave birth to the transatlantic relationship 70 years ago. These changes could have a great impact on the liberal economic order, which has been based on economic openness and trade liberalization. New developments have questioned the validity of existing economic structures and institutions. On the other hand, these changes have created new opportunities for countries like Turkey, which was not party to the U.S.-EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment negotiations, and the UK, which is preparing for Brexit, to develop new kinds of economic ties with their transatlantic partners.
By taking into account both these changes and the current vacuum in transatlantic commercial leadership, we have assessed new and possible options, most of which focus on the potential of Jobs and Growth Agreements (JAGAs) in the North Atlantic Marketplace, which has been proposed previously by one of us, and Turkeys potential place in such a Marketplace.
