Opis

The USA and eleven other countries from both sides of the Pacific are currently negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The agreement is expected to set new benchmark for international trade through its comprehensive coverage of issues and binding regulations. It is expected to eventually mature into a regional trade agreement covering the entire Asia-Pacific. This book sheds light on how China and India's entries in the TPP are mutually beneficial and how both countries can gain from the TPP by getting preferential access to large markets and using it as an opportunity for introducing more outward-oriented reforms.
