Sommario/riassunto

"Edited by two experts in international relations and trade politics, this volume provides the most up-to-date analysis of the CPTPP from economic, political and legal perspectives. It unveils the key challenges



confronting the potential accession of the United Kingdom, China and Taiwan to the agreement. Broader issues including strategies of ASEAN, the United States and the European Union are also carefully analyzed. The book will be an indispensable reference for diplomats and scholars in international economic policy." - Pasha L. Hsieh, Jean Monnet Chair Professor, Singapore Management University, Singapore "This book offers a good and comprehensive stocktaking exercise of all major issues involved. It provides a wide range of discussions from cross-disciplined scholars, underpinning a cross-country comparison of CPTPP strategies and approaches and is a well structured volume on regional integration progress." - Huai-Shing Yen, Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, Taiwan The CPTPP is far from faltering after US withdrawal, several more countries have since applied to join, including China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom, in what some observers see as a contest between China and the USA to control or re-write the rules of international trade. This volume considers the three applications, the likely responses of existing members, the implications for cross-Strait tension between China and Taiwan, and the ability of the USA to influence the outcome.
