New Lines Within the European Civil Society Mobilizations Against the TTIP

Abstract

The article examines how negotiations of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) have spurred a broad and highly heterogeneous opposition movement within European civil society. The extensive regulatory scope of the proposed agreement, spanning far beyond traditional trade-related issues, has meant that a broad range of potentially affected stakeholders have become involved in the protests. Findings from questionnaires sent to organisations partaking in the opposition to the TTIP identify novel categories of issues at stake, as well as the formation of new transnational ties. The article applies a neo-Gramscian conceptual approach to the analysis of the new channels and platforms for social movements to challenge transnational elite consensus. The protest movement´s successful contribution to stalling the agreement suggests a certain contemporary agential space to challenge neoliberal globalisation.
