description | The thesis demonstrates the contentious nature of technical market access. Within the frame of deep integration liberalization, the removal of technical barriers to trade is central. It proceeds through the convergence of technical infrastructures (technical standards and regulations, conformity assessment). Based on an interdisciplinary approach and mixed-method research, the thesis studies the case of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP/formerly TAFTA [Transatlantic Free Trade Area]) negotiations between the EU and the USA (2013-2016). It shows that technical market access talks constitute an institutionalized field of pre-market competition on which actors, situated at different spatial scales, rival in order to secure competitive advantage. The failure of the negotiations stems above all from each party’s attempt to unidirectionally extend its technical infrastructure to the other side of the Atlantic. |
