This paper presents an analysis of the economic relationship between the United States and the European Union in the light of the ongoing negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). It starts out from the assumption that the United States has redesigned its trade policy as a result of the paralysis of the Doha Round, with a view to taking a leading role in the design of the regulatory framework that will govern international trade in the future. The TTIP is part of a US strategy based on the creation of mega-regional agreements on trade and investment. The paper evaluates the origins, prospects and foreseeable consequences of this agreement currently in gestation.
