Book Description
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) between 12 Pacific Rim countries
has generated the most intensive political debate about the role of
trade in the United States in a generation. The TPP is one of the
broadest and most progressive free trade agreements since the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The essays in this Policy
Analysis provide estimates of the TPP's benefits and costs and analyze
more than 20 issues in the agreement, including environmental and labor
standards, tariff schedules, investment and competition policy,
intellectual property, ecommerce, services and financial services,
government procurement, dispute settlement, and agriculture. Through
extensive analysis of the TPP text, PIIE scholars present an
indispensable and detailed "reader's guide" that also sheds light on the
agreement's merits and shortcomings.
