Özet: After the Bretton Woods system headed for the last round-up, international trade was largely regulated within the framework of the rules of the World Trade Organization, which was established in 1994. Since the establishment of the organization, the functioning of the organization and itself has been at the center of various discussions, from member state protests to large-scale mass demonstrations. Perhaps the first visible retreat of the period that can be described as the period of “globalization” discussions is the deadlock in the WTO rounds. The mega-regional trade agreements that came to the fore after the WTO stalemate, especially the Obama administration's TPP, TTIP and TISA initiative has been emerged as a response to the deadlock in the process. TPP has been suspended by the Trump administration and then CPTTP was signed by other 11 countries of the TPP and negotiations of TTIP and TISA were suspended by partner states. Even though, the initiative was stalled, “trade wars” are still one of the most popular issues in the international media. The biggest challenge in analyzing trade agreements is the methodological isolation of social science disciplines in the literature. Mainstream international law, international economics, and international relations focus on different aspects of agreements but evaluating agreements within the framework of the regulation of global capitalism makes it possible to overcome the limitations of international trade relations only within the framework of competition between nation states, international organization-based institutional analysis, or regulatory legal texts. In the article, it is stated that mega-regional trade agreements such as TPP, TTIP and TISA are initiatives to solve the regulation problem of international trade, and the content of these initiatives is the regulation principles that are at the center of trade wars. In other words, it is argued that the debate at the center of TPP, TTIP and TISA constitutes the essence of trade wars, and in this direction, it is defended that there is a regulation dilemma in international trade with a reading that goes beyond the content of the agreements.
