"Partnership" means in these contexts (TTP, TTIP, ...): Countries are partnering to work for the interests of the big corporations and (potentially) against the interests of their own people. The thinking, that with a stronger industry (and maybe) more jobs, everything will be alright, is plainly wrong. In Germany, we have more jobs now, because we followed this route, but less people can live from their earnings -- and the social system has been undermined to reach the optimal state for "more jobs" (and more profits for the corporations). So, the result plainly is: More really poor people, that either work their ass of (some with two or three jobs) or are living in extreme poverty, strangled by a ruthless social security system. And of course: The rich people get even more money. For the shrinking "middle class" nothing is left.
