Book excerpt: Now available online: The Transatlantic Colossus: Global Contributions to Broaden the Debate on the EU-US Free Trade Agreement (2014), a publication from the Berlin Forum on Global Politics (BFoGP) in collaboration with the Internet & Society Collaboratory and FutureChallenges.org of the Bertelsmann Stiftung. The free trade agreement (TAFTA | TTIP) currently being negotiated between the United States and the European Union has the potential to significantly impact the lives of people on both sides of the Atlantic and across the world. Because it is crucial to broaden the debate on this topic of global importance, the Berlin Forum on Global Politics decided to send out an international call for papers in order to collect a strong plurality of views on TAFTA | TTIP as part of the Collaboratory's Initiative on "Globalization and the Internet". The result is an open knowledge publication, freely accessible under its Creative Commons (BY) license, which includes 22 articles written by a multitude of well-informed global stakeholders, members of civil society, academia, think tanks, consumer and activist groups, and business organizations.
