Summary

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has sparked intense debate, with supporters promising significant economic growth and job creation, while critics warn of threats to workers' rights, health standards, and public services. In TTIP, Ferdi De Ville and Gabriel Siles-Brügge provide a balanced and detailed analysis that challenges simplistic claims from both sides. They reveal that TTIP is neither an economic panacea nor a destructive force to the European welfare state. Instead, this trade negotiation has reignited critical discussions on neoliberal trade policies, marking a potential shift in how such agreements are debated and perceived.

Description

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has stirred passions like no other trade negotiation in recent history. Its supporters maintain that TTIP will produce spectacular growth and job creation; claims that are wholeheartedly rejected by its critics, who regard TTIP as a direct assault on workers' rights, health and safety standards, and public services.

In this incisive analysis, Gabriel Siles-Brügge and Ferdi De Ville scrutinize the claims made by TTIP's cheerleaders and scaremongers to reveal a far more nuanced picture behind the headlines. TTIP 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 TTIP, however, neoliberal trade negotiations are well and truly back in the spotlight. In this respect, TTIP could well prove to be a 'game-changer'—just not in the way imagined by its backers.
