  • United Kingdom’s Center for Economic Policy Research estimates that 80 percent of the potential economic gains from the TTIP agreement depend on reducing the conflicts and duplication between EU and U.S. rules on those and other regulatory issues, ranging from food safety to automobile parts.
  • Cultural attitudes on each side toward consumer safety, environmental protection, and privacy run deep, and they will not be overcome with promises of diffuse economic benefits and future job growth.
  • The negotiations should seek to ensure that the United States and Europe remain standard makers, rather than standard takers, in the global economy.

  • Promoting common rules and certification regimes that cover 800 million EU and U.S. consumers would provide predictability for exporters and investors, make it easier for them to comply with regulations in multiple markets, and thus permit economies of scale. Enabling the EU and the United States to share data and rely on each other’s inspections would stretch scarce regulatory resources and reduce the commercial burden of duplicative tests and requirements. The outcome would be smarter and more streamlined regulation that benefits businesses while protecting the general public from regulatory failures.
  • The TTIP represents the best -- and possibly the last -- opportunity for the United States and the EU to set the global regulatory blueprints by providing a template on which other trade deals can build.

    In the wake of the financial crisis, the United States is no longer the leader of the global economy, and no other nation has the political and economic leverage to replace it. Rather than a forum for compromise, the G-20 is likely to be an arena of conflict.

    This is a good article. Got a lot of play at Davos. We have been taking a deep look at the G20 for the New Seven Revs presentation, particularly looking at the top 150 words of G20 Communication. Here are some of the word clouds we generated, 1999-2007: http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/3036182/G20_Communiques_(1999-2007 and 2008-2010: http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/3036001/G20_Communiques_%282008-2010%29 You will notice that the tone has changed considerably. Globalization was not mentioned even once between 2008 and 2010.

    Seems to me there are a couple of interrelated ways to approach the governance revolution: (1) challenges to individual states (including discussion of failed states) and to the state as the primary actor on the world stage, and (2) changes and challenges in global governance (e.g., rise of the BRICs, or maybe BICs now that Russia seems to be under-performing).

    Jobs growth was slow in May, renewing pessimism about the U.S. economy. Spence, a Nobel Prize-winning economist writes that economic growth and employment in the United States have started to diverge, increasing income inequality and reducing jobs for less-educated workers.
