The rise of cross-regional trade agreements is a defining trend of
the current international trade system as shown by the signing of
the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in 2015, the negotiations for
the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between
the USA and the EU as well as the Regional Comprehensive Economic
Partnership (RCEP) between countries in Asia and Oceania. These
differ from previous agreements in their economic significance and
large geographic scale, and the wide scope of trade-related issues.
The current rise of nationalist and isolationist ideologies across
Europe and the USA has raised questions on the future of
cross-regional trade deals and made the need to understand their
implications for economic and political governance ever more
urgent. Two main forms of governance that are central to this
volume are the democratic tensions over new generation trade deals
on the one hand, and their geopolitical ramifications on the other,
which have come into collision to herald the advent of a highly
uncertain period of world politics. Many of the questions tackled
in this volume, surrounding the democratic governance of trade
agreements - whether long-held debates on the inclusion of workers'
voices, controversies on intrusive "behind the border" provisions
undermining national sovereignty and local autonomy or new
questions on digital rights - are crucial to understand the ebbing
popular support for far-reaching trade agreements. This book will
be a useful learning tool for students and scholars in a wide range
of fields, including Globalisation, Global Governance,
International Political Economy, International Trade and Investment
and International Law, and should also be of interest to EU trade
negotiators, international policymakers and business associations.

This book revisits the economic relationship that ties the UK and
Ireland to the United States in the aftermath of the greatest
economic crisis of the past fifty years. When considering recent
developments to these economic links, it appears that oppositional
forces are at work. On one hand, globalization and the rise of new
economic powers may undermine the ties. Besides, Ireland's and the
UK's European Union membership could also loosen their economic
ties with the US. Conversely, the future Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership agreement may well strengthen trade and
investment links between the US and Europe. Are the economic bonds
between the US, the UK and Ireland waning, as some pundits purport?
Or are those claims overstated? Could their economic relationship
simply be going through a process of change? Although there may not
be a single and straightforward answer to these questions, the
authors seek to address these issues and provide insight into the
changing dynamics of this historic economic relationship.
