Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) is a free trade agreement that includes nations on both sides of the Pacific. The existing TPP, which originally came into effect in 2006, consists of Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore. The U.S., Peru, Australia, and Vietnam have committed themselves to joining and expanding this group.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks attempt to link together at least nine countries in three continents to create a 'high-quality, twenty-first century agreement'. Such an agreement is intended to open markets to competition between the partners more than ever before in sectors ranging from goods and services to investment, and includes rigorous rules in the fields of intellectual property, labour protection and environmental conservation. The TPP also aims to improve regulatory coherence, enhance production supply chains and help boost small and medium-sized enterprises. It could transform relations with regions such as Latin America, paving the way to an eventual Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or see innovations translated into the global trade regulatory system operating under the WTO. However, given the tensions between strategic and economic concerns, the final deal could still collapse into something closer to a standard, 'twentieth-century' trade agreement.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Path to Free Trade in the Asia-Pacific
Mega-regionalism in the Asia Pacific has led to the formation of several emerging trade blocs, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This book, in addition to the examination of trade policies in the region, offers a comprehensive analysis of ongoing developments such as the impact of new members on the incumbent TPP-12 and its spillover to third parties, as well an objective study of the crucial issues of liberalization of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and intellectual property rights.
Trans-Pacific Partnership: An Assessment
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...
No Ordinary Deal
The Trans-Pacific Partnership is no ordinary free trade deal. Billed as an agreement fit for the twenty-first century, no one is sure what that means. For its champions, the TPP is a magic bullet - opening closed doors for Fonterra into the US dairy market. But this free trade agreement is not primarily about imports and exports. Its obligations will intrude into core areas of government policy and parliamentary responsibilities. If the US lobby has its way, the rules will restrict how drug-buying agencies Pharmac (in New Zealand) and the Pharmaceutical Benefi ts Scheme (in Australia) can operate, and the kind of food standards and intellectual property laws we can have. The TPP would govern how we regulate the finance industry or other services, along with our capacity to create jobs at home. And the agreement would lock our countries even deeper into a neoliberal model of global free markets - when even political leaders admit that this has failed.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership
This book considers the impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] on intellectual property and trade. The book focuses upon the debate over copyright law, intermediary liability, and technological protection measures. The text examines the negotiations over trade mark law, cybersquatting, geographical indications and the plain packaging of tobacco products. It explores the debate over patent law and access to essential medicines, data protection and biologics, and the protection of trade secrets. In addition, the book investigates the treatment of Indigenous intellectual property, access to genetic resources, and plant breeders’ rights.
Understanding the Free Trade Agreement
After seven years of negotiation, the United States on October 5, 2015 reached a conclusion of the Trans - pacific partnership agreement with the eleven other TPP countries which are Australia, Japan, Chile, Malaysia, Brunei, Peru, New Zealand, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada and Mexico. According to the office of the United State trade representative website, the TPP is meant to level the playing field for American workers and American businesses through eliminating more than 18,000 taxes and other trade barriers on American products across the eleven other countries in the TPP barrier that put American products at an unfair disadvantage today. TPP will make it easier for American entrepreneurs, farmers and small business owners to export made in America products. Considering the large volume of the full text of TPP which contains about 4500 pages, this book carefully summarizes the trans-pacific partnership agreement pointing out the new features as it will affect the growth and development of the United States.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership and Asia-Pacific Integration
"While global trade negotiations remain stalled, two tracks of trade negotiations in the Asia-Pacific--the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and a parallel Asian track--could generate momentum for renewed liberalization and provide pathways to region-wide free trade. We estimate that world income would rise by $295 billion per year on the TPP track, by $766 billion if both tracks are successful, and by $1.9 trillion if the tracks ultimately combine to yield region-wide free trade. The tracks are competitive initially but their strategic implications appear to be constructive: they generate incentives for enlargement and mutual progress and, over time, for region-wide consoli...
The Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership
This volume provides comprehensive chapter-by-chapter assessment of one of the world's most important regional trade agreements, the TPP/CPTPP.
The Trans Pacific Partnership, China and India
The United States and 11 other countries from both sides of the Pacific are currently negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The agreement is expected to set new benchmark for international trade through its comprehensive coverage of issues and binding regulations. It is expected to eventually mature into a regional trade agreement covering the entire Asia-Pacific. As of now, it does not include China and India, the two largest emerging markets and regional economies. The TPP has generated controversy for its excessive emphasis on trade issues, which have remained unresolved or unaddressed at the WTO due to differences between developed and emerging markets. It has also been critic...
