The European Union and the United States are currently negotiating the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), with potentially enormous economic gains for both partners. Experts from the European Union and the United States explore not only the groundwork laid for TTIP under the "New Transatlanticism," but also the key variables - economic, cultural, institutional, and political - shaping transatlantic policy outcomes. This insightful account into policy cooperation between the EU and the US is a welcomed resource for policy specialists oriented toward comparative public policy wishing to enter the arena of Transatlantic Studies.
