Synopsis

In October 2015, the United States and 11 other countries came to an agreement on the terms of the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement. One of the broadest and most progressive FTAs since NAFTA, this Policy Analysis serves as a “readers guide” to anyone who wishes to thoroughly understand the key issues and implications of the TPP. Through extensive analysis of the TPP text, Peterson scholars collaborated to create a comprehensive assessment of important chapters in the agreement, touching on market access, investment, and competition policy, as well as the more controversial issues of intellectual property rights and investor-state dispute settlements.
