Abstract

This chapter analyzes the institutional changes to the negotiation and adoption of international trade and investment agreements by the European Union and the ensuing effects on transparency, public participation and dispute resolution. In particular, how EU institutions can democratize and legitimize international trade and investment agreements by providing for concrete measures and instruments to promote a model for proactive transparency as well as for effective and direct public participation. Practices will be extracted and analyzed from the negotiation of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the USA, deemed by the European Commission as the most transparent trade and investment agreement to date.
