Two Sides

Significance The two sides have suspended tariffs arising from their dispute over subsidies to Airbus and Boeing, are working on an international deal on corporate taxation and have established a high-level council to discuss issues at the nexus of security, technology and trade. Impacts A major aim of closer transatlantic cooperation is better coordination of policies with respect to China. Closer transatlantic cooperation over China might soften US opposition to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. It will be difficult for the US government to pass legislation concerning trade given the Democrats' precarious majority in both houses.

Nord Stream

This article focuses on public participation in Sweden during the planning of the Nord Stream gas pipeline. The pipeline runs from Russia to Germany, and passes close to the Swedish island of Gotland. Results from a survey study conducted among 990 Swedish citizens, where 200 respondents are residents on the island of Gotland, reveal that there are differences between men and women in how risks with this project were perceived. More women than men expressed a desire for more participatory processes, even if they stated that they would not participate themselves. Women on Gotland expressed a more negative view of the gas pipeline and also perceived greater risks. Results indicate that public participation could have been better at addressing gender and regional specific needs.

Nord Stream

Die Ostsee-Gas-Pipeline Nord Stream 2 soll ab 2020 als direkte Verbindung zwischen Russland und Deutschland die Kapazität für den Import russisches Erdgases in die EU deutlich erweitern und zugleich von kostentreibenden Gebühren und Störungen durch Transitländer unabhängiger machen. Der russische Anbieter Gazprom will so, unter Beachtung der Regeln des EU-Energiebinnenmarkts, seinen Marktanteil auf dem für ihn wichtigsten Absatzmarkt halten. Zudem wird Deutschland durch das Projekt zum wichtigsten Knotenpunkt (Hub) des europäischen Gasverbundmarktes. Allerdings ist Nord Stream 2 zum umstrittensten Investitionsvorhaben der europäischen Energiewirtschaft geworden, innereuropäisch kritisiert von den baltischen Staaten und Polen, vehement bekämpft von den USA.
