The Politics of Transatlantic Trade Negotiations

Professor Joost Pauwelyn was one of the main speakers at the launch of the book “The Politics of Transatlantic Trade Negotiations - TTIP in a Globalized World”. The Event took place at European Commission premises, in Brussel, on Friday, 3rd of June.

Europe is currently facing big challenges: kick-starting our economy, responding to conflicts close to our borders, adapting to other emerging economies outside Europe, and maintaining our influence in the wider world. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) could benefit people in Europe, the US - and the rest of the world. TTIP has potential to create jobs and growth at home, give global trade a much-needed shot in the arm, and boost our influence outside of Europe, too. According to Daniel S. Hamilton, Johns Hopkins University USA, “TTIP promises to generate significant yet still uncertain implications for transatlantic relations, global governance, and the international rules-based order.”

“The Politics of Transatlantic Trade Negotiations - TTIP in a Globalized World” presents the first systematic analysis of TTIP in which academics from across disciplines and various academic institutions around Europe and North America, but also from outside of the transatlantic basin shed their light on the theoretical aspects of TTIP, its meaning for the United States and Europe, and impact on third countries and multilateral institutions.

Seizing upon the publication of this edited volume, the debate convenes experts and practitioners who are able to offer valuable insights, either through their own experience or academic research.

Speakers

  • Christian Burgsmueller, Member of Cabinet, European Commissioner for Trade, Cecilia Malmström

  • Tereza Novotná, Co-Editor and Author, FNRS Postdoctoral Researcher, Université libre de Bruxelles

  • Frederik Ponjaert, Co-Editor and Author, Researcher and Lecturer, Université libre de Bruxelles and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

  • Joost Pauwelyn, Author, Professor of International Law, The Graduate Institute of Geneva
