This brief argues the United States and European Union should seek the most comprehensive agreement possible in their negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The author argues that to promote a return to a flourishing economy after the financial crisis, US and EU need to focus on aligning their regulatory frameworks in order to attain greater inter-operability and increased cooperation. In fact, he calls for a new type of agreement—an “Economic NATO”—that will eliminate barriers to economic growth and spur creativity and investment both domestically and across the Atlantic.
