The main focus centres on the EU-US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), but the findings are also applicable to similar agreements under negotiation, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The specific features of Mega-Regional Trade Agreements raise a number of issues with respect to their potential effect on the current system of international trade and investment law. These include the consequences of Mega-Regionals for the most-favoured-nation (MFN) principle, their relation to the multilateral system of the World Trade Organization (WTO), their democratic legitimacy and their interaction with existing bilateral investment treaties (BITs). The book is intended for academics and practitioners working in the field of international economic law.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000796396 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000796396 650_0 $$aForeign trade regulation. 000796396 650_0 $$aFree trade. 000796396 650_0 $$aTrade blocs. 000796396 7001_ $$aRensmann, Thilo,$$eeditor. 000796396 852__ $$bebk 000796396 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-56663-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000796396 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:796396$$pGLOBAL_SET 000796396 980__ $$aEBOOK 000796396 980__ $$aBIB 000796396 982__ $$aEbook 000796396 983__ $$aOnline 000796396 994__ $$a92$$bISE
