<br>
Cast as “trade agreements”, a momentous re-writing and consolidation
of the basic rules governing the global economy is being pursued
across the globe. At play is much more than “trade." Driven by
commercial interest and industry associations, the rules in these
agreements - like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and
Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) - cover core
elements of politics and economics, including investment, dispute
resolution, intellectual property, public procurement policy and
much more. As such, they can both re-shape and lock-in the reach and
power of multinational corporations, the lines between public and
private, the role and efficacy of governance globally and
nationally, and the enormous power imbalances among classes, regions
and countries. Done in secrecy, these agreements threaten to
undermine hard-won basic citizen rights - to open government, access
to justice, livelihoods and a stable and healthy environment.<br>
<br>
Bringing together noted academics and advocates, “Rules, Rights and
Resistance” presents a day-long exploration of what is at play in
the struggle over “trade agreements”: what they portend, the
resistances they have generated, and the horizons for rewriting and
implementing alternative rules."<br>
