At a time when international trade, which plays a key role in shaping global economic balances and imbalances, is being reevaluated throughout the world and alternative structures (TTIP, TPP, etc.) are being proposed, GRF Task Force aims to discuss general economic and commercial trends on the global scale and to make policy suggestions concerning Turkey’s long-term political preferences.

The article entitled “The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and Turkey”, guided by Bozkurt Aran, Co-Chair of the Task Force, provided a guideline for the discussions. Following the presentation, Task Force members presented their views and suggestions concerning the framework.
