Its supporters maintain that \u003cem\u003eTTIP\u003c\/em\u003e will produce spectacular growth and job creation; claims that are wholeheartedly rejected by its critics, who regard \u003cem\u003eTTIP\u003c\/em\u003e as a direct assault on workers' rights, health and safety standards, and public services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this incisive analysis, Gabriel Siles-Brügge and Ferdi De Ville scrutinize the claims made by \u003cem\u003eTTIP\u003c\/em\u003e's cheerleaders and scaremongers to reveal a far more nuanced picture behind the headlines. \u003cem\u003eTTIP\u003c\/em\u003e will not provide an economic 'cure-all', nor will it destroy the European welfare state in one fell swoop. Thanks to unprecedented levels of protest and debate around \u003cem\u003eTTIP\u003c\/em\u003e, however, neoliberal trade negotiations are well and truly back in the spotlight. In this respect, \u003cem\u003eTTIP\u003c\/em\u003e could well prove to be a 'game-changer'—just not in the way imagined by its backers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464742355180,"sku":"9781509501021","price":30.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509501021-ttip.jpg?v=1775052798"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ferdi-de-ville.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
