THE POLITICS OF TRANSATLANTIC TRADE NEGOTIATIONS
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, Director of the Center for Transatlantic Relations,
Johns Hopkins University SAIS, USA
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, former Director-General of the World Trade Organization and Honorary President of the Paris-based think tank Notre Europe, France
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.

As a leading research institution and a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in European Studies, the Institut dtudes Europennes of the Universit Libre de Bruxelles (IEE-ULB) supported the launch of this global series with a view to bringing together multidisciplinary research in global governance and EU studies. The series can draw on a wide and global network of partner universities across five continents. Among its numerous resources special mention is to be made of the Erasmus Mundus GEM PhD School on Globalisation, Europe, Multilateralism and the GR:EEN European research project on Global Reordering: Evolving European Networks.
Volumes included in the series share innovative research objectives centred on: globalisation, the EUs changing position therein, resulting forms of multilateral cooperation, and the role of transnational networks as well as multipolarity in the contemporary international order. A wide array of possible approaches to these shared themes are welcomed, including among others: comparative regionalism, public and foreign policy analysis, EU governance and Europeanisation studies, discourse analysis, area studies, and various institutional perspectives.
With a shared aim to contribute to innovations in the study of both European Integration and International Relations, the series includes: collaborative volumes, research based monographs and textbooks. Each publication undergoes an international refereeing process, and enjoys the advice and feedback of an international editorial board.
