De l’intérêt des fuites (#leaks) pour manipuler une négociation
It’s one way of negotiating the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (#TPPA) I guess.
Leak a document containing multiple extreme positions and then gracefully back down in the face of inevitable objection from other parties fuelled by local community uproar - arriving at terms that are at least as good if not better than what you were really after. And the US is playing that game like a master if it’s latest leaked TPPA IP chapter is anything to go by. Mind you, it had some ground to make up after its embarrassing stumble with #ACTA.
