Those "partnership" treaties are ultimately used by big corporations and other "big pockets" to annul democratic decisions and processes.
This is seen at the current TTIP negotiations and even more at the results that already in-place treaties have. Look at Mexico and its treaty with the US. The small farmers are the losers of this treaty and corporations are the winners. And not only on the Mexican side are the losers -- also the workers on the US side are losing because work gets cheaper and cheaper and even more important, health and environment standards are undermined!
With all those treaties (which are currently planned or already signed) in-place we have a capitalistic utopia with all the gains of society of decades annulled. Back to the capitalism of robber barons and uncontrolled exploitation (of humans and the nature).
