Cory Doctorow is Canadian-British, and consequently he has been writing quite a bit lately about how IP law is largely a regulatory regime imposed on countries by the United States through free trade agreements since it predominantly benefits American corporations.
Basically, if America want to tear up trade agreements, that makes IP law an ideal target for asymmetric trade warfare through more progressive IP systems.

In this context my guess is intellectual property.
