When the negotiations for the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada were concluded in September 2014, the text was finally released after years of secrecy. At the time, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives put together what remains the best overall analysis of the main text‘s 1598 pages, in a series of studies collectively called „Making Sense of CETA.“ The same organization has now published a set of analyses looking at key aspects of TPP, entitled „What’s the big deal? Understanding the Trans-Pacific Partnership“.

They are all worth looking at, but Techdirt readers will probably be particularly interested in one called „Foreign investor protections in the Trans-Pacific Partnership.“
