About this book
Originally called the Trans-Pacific Partnership until the USA withdrew in 2017, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is an ambitious and wide-ranging free trade agreement between eleven Pacific countries. Far from faltering after US withdrawal, several more countries have since applied to join, including China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Some observers see in this a contest between China and the USA for wider influence through an attempt to control or re-write the rules of international trade; at a minimum accession by any of the three would have a major impact on the CPTPP as originally envisaged.
This edited volume considers the three applications, the motivations for the three to join, and the likely responses of existing members. The implications for cross-Strait tension between China and Taiwan are fully considered, as is the ability or willingness of the USA to influence the outcome of the applications.Similar content being viewed by others

Edited by two experts in international relations and trade politics, this volume provides the most up-to-date analysis of the CPTPP from economic, political and legal perspectives. In particular, the book unveils the key challenges confronting the potential accession of the United Kingdom, China and Taiwan to the agreement. The broader issues concerning Indo-Pacific strategies of ASEAN, the United States and the European Union are also carefully analyzed. With the expertise and expertise of contributors, the book will undoubtedly be an indispensable reference for diplomats and scholars in international economic policy.

This book offers a good and comprehensive stocktaking exercise of all major issues involved. It provides a wide range of discussions from cross-disciplined scholars, underpinning a cross-country comparison of CPTPP strategies and approaches and is a well structured volume on regional integration progress.
