Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trans-Pacific Partnership, with its twelve participating countries on three continents, is the largest regional trade and investment agreement that Canada has ever negotiated. It is also one of the most controversial— for good reason. Negotiations ended exactly a year ago, in October 2015, and the TPP was signed in New Zealand in February 2016. But there is no guarantee it will ever come into effect. Opposition to the TPP is strongest in the United States, where both 2016 presidential nominees vowed to kill or significantly renegotiate the deal. Outgoing President Barack Obama characterized the TPP as a Made-in-America deal in the hope of getting it passed into law shortly after the November presidential election. But is what is good for corporate America good for Canada? In this book, experts in a dozen policy areas explain what the impact of the TPP agreement would be on Canada. Many of the key issues they explore have received little media coverage, notably the effect of the TPP on environmental protection, health care and other public services, Canada's cultural industries, the labour market, human rights and the democratic decision-making process generally. Perhaps most controversially, the TPP would expand the rights of multinational corporations to sue governments for policies and decisions that interfere with their profits. Most public commentary on the TPP in Canada has come from CEOs and business lobbyists with a vested interest in furthering a free-trade model that impoverishes democracy and weakens our ability to shape public-interest regulation. The expert contributors to this book, drawn from academia, the labour movement and NGO world, offer an independent and nuanced account of the real but underreported costs of the TPP.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Political systems in general and in comparison, grade: A+, Webster University, language: English, abstract: The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), formerly titled the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership, is a free trade agreement currently being negotiated that could represent the world’s largest multilateral free trade bloc in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). This agreement, if successfully ratified, would establish stronger economic ties between various Pacific Rim countries. Originally signed by Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore in 2005, the list of members participating in the TPP negotiations has since grown in size to include Australia, Peru, the United States, and Vietnam in 2008, Malaysia in 2010, and Canada and Mexico in 2012. From 2010, Canada had been an observer of the negotiations but could not participate as it had been blocked by New Zealand and the United States from joining the talks. This was due to its domestic agricultural policies and intellectual property rights standards. In addition to the current negotiating parties, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, and South Korea have also expressed interest in joining the discussions. [...]

Book excerpt: Although the prospect of China joining the negotiations in the short term is uncertain, the coun- try's expression of interest underscores why the TPP is important: it has the potential to expand to include all Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation coun- tries (APEC). [...] For countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the main draw of the TPP is preferential access to the United States. [...] Although the outcome of the CETA negotiations is uncertain, if an agreement is reached, it is expected to further liberalize goods and services market access for European compan- ies doing business in Canada and provide Canadian businesses with expanded EU commitments in the areas of automobiles, beef, government procure- ment, and investment-well beyond the benchmark commitments of the WTO agreem [...] For Canadian companies, this means that the investments they make in member countries will be subject to the stronger level of pro- tection agreed upon in the TPP, and that the suppliers and buyers they trade with will adhere to a clear and strong set of rules in the manufacturing and processing of products. [...] Since the United States is the dominant TPP player, China may prefer to negotiate through the fraserinstitute.org Canada and the Trans-Pacific Partnership / 13 Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership1 negotiations, which include the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), plus the six countries with which ASEAN has existing free trade agreements.

Book excerpt: The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has generated a vigorous debate that features widely differing estimates of its economic impact and claims regarding its broader significance in terms of setting the rules for global trade and in terms of its geopolitical impact. This policy brief analyzes the relevance of six studies that have featured prominently in the debate about the size of the TPP's economic impact in light of the publication of the TPP text, and examines critically the TPP's potential for positive economic spillovers on third parties, its role as an instrument of economic policy more broadly, its role as an instrument for leveraging progress on non-economic objectives, and its role as an instrument of geopolitics. It draws conclusions for Canada's position on the agreement as a contribution to the ratification debate.
