The Geopolitics of TTIP: Beyond Brexit

A IAI working paper addresses the geopolitical implications of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Much criticized in public discourse, the analysis provides insight on various economic, political and strategic benefits that can flow from the agreement. The recent Brexit vote and political trends in Europe and the US have complicated negotiations, but there are concrete avenues that can improve public reception by modifying its focus and expanding its membership. A second IAI working paper reflects on the impact of the Brexit vote for the future of the United Kingdom as a unitary state.
