TTIP vs BRICS

Workshop

Venue: Attac Summer University, Paris, 264E
Languages: English, French, Spanish

TTIP will integrate the internal markets of the EU and the USA in an unprecedented way. TTIP not only has influence on the countries involved, but is aims deliberately at the world level. The dream of the Western elites is to use the TTIP to re-start WTO negotiations in their favor again. How will the BRICS react to such a blatant attack on the Global South? Could it be that from their group an assertive counterpoint comes, allowing the development of opportunities for all people and regions?
