Trading Up in Asia: Why the United States Needs the Trans-Pacific Partnership

In: Foreign affairs, Band 91, Heft 4

Abstract

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive multilateral trade agreement now in the works that focuses on the Asia-Pacific region, could add billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and solidify Washington's commitment to the Pacific. But if the Obama administration fails to calm critics of the deal, there is a growing possibility that it could collapse. Adapted from the source document.
