Isn't this missing the point?
At present, the national state represents, in principle, the will of its citizens; its laws made by elected parliamentarians, are the highest authority in disputes among .. legal entities within its borders.
Agreements, like the TTIP, supersede the authority of that law with clauses in contracts that cannot be changed at anytime by elected representatives of a national state nor are they mediated by institutions, like courts, that are open to the citizens.
So, while all citizens are subjected to the clauses of those agreements, and the arbitrations of the somehow by someone appointed experts, they have no approved way [by court, for example] to directly take action against both.
This isn't an alternative between law [made by and for citizens] and war [conducted by citizens], it's neither.
The TTIP places corporate entities in authority over citizens and their elected representatives alike. In a way, the citizens become even less than a subject.

But seriously, while "plan" is saying too much insofar as it implies grand conspiracies and some nefarious master minds muhawahawing behind the curtain, it's hard to deny that we see here, as Chomsky might say, a transfer of decision-making from the public (and its representatives) to unaccountable institutions. The gain in control for every interested party is so obvious that we don't need to assume a world-wide conspiracy, just self-interest.
