Trans-Pacific Partnership: Pros & Cons

The U.S. initiative for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) reflects political and strategic considerations rather than purely economic motivation. As a result, it is likely to carry substantial downsides, raising the question whether the initiative is desirable. Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor, Columbia University, will discuss both the pros and the cons of the TPP initiative.
