Expanding the TPP?: Prospects for South Korea, Taiwan, and ASEAN
The outlook for the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement to be ratified remains uncertain, particularly given the political hurdles facing the world’s most ambitious trade pact. That has not, however, stopped the debate about the possibility of expanding TPP membership beyond the 12 founding members. Join us for a discussion on the prospects for South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian nations yet to join the TPP including Indonesia, and how the pact’s future could impact the political as well as economic landscape of the region.
Overview
The outlook for the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement to be ratified remains uncertain, particularly given the political hurdles facing the world’s most ambitious trade pact.

Registration begins at 9:45 a.m., light refreshments will be served.
