Signed on 4 February 2016, the TPP has already begun shifting the calculus of trade policy in the Asia-Pacific, as well as globally. Yet we are only at the beginning of this process, and much will depend on the willingness of non-signatories such as Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan or even China to join the TPP, or at least to adapt their trade strategies accordingly. With his long experience informing and formulating Korean trade policy, Professor Bark will provide an analysis of the pros and cons of joining the TPP from a Korean perspective.
