Transatlantic Free Trade Agreements : Lack of EU Leadership for Reforming Trade and Investment Law ?

Should the EU design transatlantic free trade agreements (FTAs) as a power-oriented “international law among states”, a “democratic law among peoples”, or as a “cosmopolitan law among individuals” as the legitimate “constituent powers” and “democratic principals” of all governance agents in the 21st...

FTAs protecting rights and remedies of citizens have been uniquely successful in European integration, for instance by limiting “governance failures” and “market failures” (e.g. through constitutional, competition, labour, social and environmental law and judicial remedies).
