Infolge der Globalisierung entwickeln sich in Asien und Lateinamerika neue Wirtschaftsmächte, wodurch die Gefahr besteht, dass die Vereinigten Staaten und Europa im globalen Wettbewerb verdrängt werden. Welche Rolle werden die Vereinigten Staaten und die Europäische Union angesichts dieser globalen Machtverschiebung bei der Förderung der Zusammenarbeit in diesem neuen globalen Umfeld spielen? Ein transatlantisches Handels- und Investitionspartnerschaftsabkommen zwischen den USA und der EU würde neue Möglichkeiten für beide Seiten des Atlantiks schaffen. In diesem Buch werden die Gründe für das Scheitern von TTIP untersucht und Empfehlungen sowie Lösungen für die Fortsetzung der Verhandlungen über das transatlantische Handelsabkommen gegeben.

AbstractThis paper discusses the internal dynamics of American trade policy making in the context of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations. The author describes the active role interest groups, the U.S. business community, and representatives on both sides of the political spectrum have played in the passing of Transatlantic Partnership Agreement (TPA), the TPP negotiations, and currently the TTIP debate. Lastly, the author lays out the challenges TTIP will continue to face in light of opposition to specific TPP provisions, trans-atlantic disagreement over ISDS and data flows, and the recent presidential elections.

This study examines the potential gains from a transatlantic zero-tariff agreement on trade in goods. The idea of deeper transatlantic economic integration has become more attractive in recent years. The hopes for an ambitious multilateral trade deal in the Doha Round negotiations have diminished; few countries appear ready to accept ambitious liberalisation on the global level. Leaders have increasingly turned to bilateral or regional trade initiatives, but few of them are capable of delivering sizeable gains to big economies like the European Union and the United States.

National governments are keenly aware of the need for investment in space. Canada, as a formal cooperating state in the European Space Agency (ESA), and Germany, as a leading member state of ESA, are interlinked in Europe's space endeavours. Beyond ESA, Germany and Canada additionally have a strong history of bilateral cooperation on a range of space projects. This paper discusses the novel interdependencies between clear national and now supranational space policies, using the examples of the Canada-European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The agreement covers most aspects of the EU-Canada bilateral economic relationship and includes space. The paper focuses on international space policies, strategic bilateral co-operation, and technical accomplishments. It takes a closer look at German-Canadian collaboration in space programs and offers some reflection on the effect of both the EU and ESA'S transatlantic involvement in space.

AbstractThe United States and the European Union include several environmental clauses in their respective preferential trade agreements (PTAs). Building on an exhaustive and fine-grained dataset of PTAs' environmental clauses, this article makes two contributions. First, it shows that the United States and the European Union have initially favored different approaches to environmental protection in their PTAs. The United States' concerns over regulatory sovereignty and level playing field have led to a legalistic and adversarial approach, while the European Union's concerns for policy coherence have led to a more procedural and cooperative approach. Second, this article provides evidence that European and American trade negotiators have gradually converged on a shared set of environmental norms. Although the United States and the European Union initially pursued different objectives, they learned from each other and drew similar lessons. As a result, recent American agreements have become more European-like, and European agreements have become more Americanized. This article concludes that U.S. and E.U. approaches, far from being incompatible, can usefully be combined and reinforce each other.

Negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union and the United States have been in progress since 2013. The European Commission published the first document on the status of negotiations one year later. The main aim of this paper is to present TTIP as a very controversial agreement, both in the view of scholars and the international public. Negotiations behind closed doors, the growing democratic deficit, the investor-state dispute resolution mechanism (ISDS), and the European Citizens' Initiative "Stop TTIP" are the most important issues in the public debate on the transatlantic agreement. ; Globalizacja a media i postprawda ; 2 ; jesień/zima 2017 ; 16 ; 53 ; 65 ; Refleksje.
