Economic and geopolitical dimension of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership

EU-US negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) - aimed at creating a free trade area and establishing shared standards and rules - are of strategic importance for the future of transatlantic relations and global governance. IAI, in cooperation with the German Marshall Fund (GMF) of the United States, ran a research programme involving a lively debate on the goals and prospects of TTIP. The program saw the publication of papers and the organization of seminars on both the economic and the political-strategic aspects of the TTIP.
