Tiivistelmä
This Bachelor’s Thesis is written within Novia University of Applied Sciences in Turku. My motive for the implementation of the thesis is my personal interest towards the topic as well as the lack of previous research information.
The objective of this work is what the current negotiations regarding the transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP) between the European Union and the United States of America really is about. As this topic is a big issue not only among politicians but also among the public, I would like to present the opponents and the proponents and what position they have towards TTIP.
Besides the theoretical framework I enrich this thesis with qualitative thematic interviews. The study involved four respondents who are specialists in this area.
The results I made out of this are interesting and give a more insight view in to this agreement and may help oneself to build up an own opinion, well-founded on facts and not only on feelings. In summary it can be said that this agreement will bring a lot positive input into the economy of Europe and also into the economy of the U.S., but we should be aware of some negative impacts that might come up. Nevertheless, as there are still no fixed articles made up between the both negotiating parties, we can only guess what will be in this agreement in the end.
