Multilateral co-operation has come up against its limits in recent years. Minilateral or plurilateral pioneer alliances can lend new impetus to international trade and climate policy, however, they should augment and support the multilateral process rather than replace it.

Multilaterale Kooperation ist in den letzten Jahren an ihre Grenzen gestoßen. Minilaterale oder plurilaterale Vorreiterallianzen können neuen Schwung in die internationale Handels- und Klimapolitik bringen, sollten jedoch den multilateralen Prozess nicht ersetzen, sondern ergänzen und unterstützen.

Berger, Axel (2015) Briefing Paper 9/2015
Developing countries signed international investment agreements to attract foreign investments. The empirical evidence suggests they are no panacea in this respect. A debate is needed about how these agreements can be reformed to promote foreign investments while preserving policy space.
Bonn, 03. June 2015
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership ( TTIP ) is currently the subject of heated debate – but with a narrow focus.

TTIP wird heiß diskutiert – jedoch mit einem verengten Fokus. Befürworter und Kritiker konzentrieren sich vor allem auf die Auswirkungen von TTIP auf Deutschland und Europa. Den Implikationen dieses Mega Regionals für den Rest der Welt wird nicht genügend Beachtung geschenkt.
