Transatlantic Policy Comparison Papers

Increasingly, rules for the global economy are set between Washington and Brussels .  When Americans and Europeans agree, robust starting points for international policy deliberations result.  When they disagree, their respective positions tend to frame the broader international debate.  In either case, policy-makers and business leaders thus pay close attention to transatlantic policy dynamics as the "new economy" evolves.

With generous support of the German Marshall Fund, BRIE researchers have compiled transatlantic policy comparisons in some of the most critical "new economy" policy areas - personal data privacy, intellectual property, corporate governance, and industry self-regulation.  Each paper is structured around three propositions for discussion, followed by extensive background analysis of the critical policy drivers.
