Position Paper
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a proposed trade agreement between twelve Pacific Rim countries concerning a variety of matters of economic policy, about which agreement was reached on 5 October 2015. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership) In 22 September 2008, United State of America joined the agreement. Since then, new countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru and Vietnam also joined the TPP, bringing the total number of participating countries in TPP to twelve. The TTP groups represents a markets of nearly 658 million people on earth and the total combined GDP is $20.7 trillion, and the TPP market also represent for

There are both Christian countries and Buddhist countries. There are both developed and developing country. There are also countries in manufacturing industry and countries depending on natural resources exportation. In this league all the country has different roles, when they assemble together it is going to be a complete ecosystem. From high-end product invention, to manufacture parts, to assembling, then the final products will be delivered back to the member states. I believe that under TPP, free trade and market efficiency can be made to a higher level. Depending on countries’ basic conditions, different countries have different specialization. In principle, if a country exchange it’s most specialized products to it’s less specialized products, combined with no tariff barriers. All of these will improve the overall trading efficiency and greatly improved the global economic development. Secondly, the breadth and depth of TPP agreements are more than any other free trade agreement. Besides from the 100% reduction in tariffs, it also includes the liberalization of staffs and financial flows, the protection of intellectual property rights, improvement of the business environment and so on. By combining all those factors together.
Consider whether we should join TPP or not. There’re many different views. Those in favor say this trade deal will unleash new economic growth among countries involved. Those against -
reaction should be precise and undemanding. TPP is not a general or an undersized trade contract, it maintains a vast amount of significance and benefits to the countries implicated. The agreement should possess equal advantage to all the associated countries in satisfying their internal domestic policies. For instance, the TPP consists of agreements which develops the precision of regulatory upbringing for small and average businesses to function across the area. The discrepancy is a prompt that the trade agreement is multifaceted and is also a motivation. Apart from other agreements the TPP is shaped to lower import tax and quotas, and to even out legal and regulatory principles in areas like the environment, intellectual possessions, employment civil rights and state-owned
These export trade agreements, in the next two decades, will create thousands of available jobs, and also boost the GDP by approximately $25 billion, which benefits consumers, households and economic growth. There are several strategies under the new trade agreement that targets partnership and bring benefits:
Two of the well-known theories are absolute advantage and comparative advantage theory. Absolute advantage trade theory is when the producer is able to input a small amount to produce a good or service. It is also recognized to attain better through the acts of low-cost production. By this I mean, an example of absolute advantage is when a small country like China manufacture or produce a good and participate in the ability to have low labor cost on that item. Meanwhile, comparative advantage is the action of a country being able to produce or manufacture a good/service at a lower cost than another country. When having the theory of comparative advantage country that produces an item has an advantage over the company that has a desire for that specific item. Their ability to produce the item locally gives them a cheaper source of the ingredient causing them to offer their product cheaper than other companies. The Trans-Pacific Pacific Partnership is an agreement that has threatened to extend restrictive intellectual property laws across the world and rewrite international rules on its enforcement. Countries involved in the TPP are Australia, Peru, Japan, Canada, Vietnam, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Mexico. Basically, all the countries along the Pacific Ocean signed the agreement on February 4, 2016. The trade agreement is said to makes trading easier, adds intellectual property protection, and raises labor environmental standards in all countries involved, but there is no set person to write the rules and regulations to the agreement along with no one to make sure they are enforced. If the U.S doesn’t ratify the agreement, China can step in and continue to dominate and control the market. I believe if done right TPP can bring world domination for all countries to work together in creating one huge market to live by. Regional trading groups are
Trans-Pacific partnership opens a new free market field with minimal trade restrictions. Members are expected to conduct trade within the jurisdictions of the member states with much
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) was introduce as vehicle spark growth between the United State and the European Union. The US and EU represent the most developed, modern and committed to the highest consumer protection in the world. It is the T-TIP goal to capitalize on the relationship by providing economic growth and more jobs to US and EU to 13 million jobs already supported by transatlantic trade and investment. It is the T-TIP goal and desire to cut the edge and tariff agreements to allow for greater compatibility and transparency, in trade and investment regulations, while maintaining high level of health, safety and environmental protection.
of markets, including the auto industry, and in the spotlight, the dairy and beef markets.
This included lowering those trade barriers right away and working to put into place some of the other conditions. In some ways, the TPP is similar to what NAFTA did. However, NAFTA was simpler because it included fewer nations and it had fewer parts, as well. TPP required its members to put into place new protocols to reduce emissions in hopes of becoming more green. This is not easy to do overnight, of course, so countries were given time to implement their programs. The same could be said of human rights changes, which cannot happen overnight in these nations, either. There is more going on in the TPP than NAFTA, which had an impact on its
As Canada is not a very large country population wise, it is crucial that Canadian companies are protected from large, capital-orientated companies worldwide. Although the Trans-Pacific Partnership will eliminate many tariffs, the beef and pork industry will still benefit greatly. Canada exported about $3.9 billion dollars worth of product to the potential TPP markets in the years 2012 to 2014 (The ABCs of TPP. (n.d.). Retrieved November 23, 2015, from
In turn, individuals are typically driven by self-interest. The central objective of the TPP is to cause trade within the 12 countries involved to be less costly. This could go one of two ways; American Companies could have the opportunity to trade cost-free with 11 other countries, or American Companies could move their businesses elsewhere, where labor is cheaper, and ship their products back to America for a cheaper price. The average American Citizens tends to see this with a glass-half-empty approach because of two factors. A majority of the money that would come from relocating labor overseas would only benefit the upper class of America, and because of the impacts of a prior trade agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). When NAFTA was enacted on January 1, 1994, many large companies moved their labor elsewhere (i.e. Mexico or Canada). According to a research group the Economic Policy Institute, NAFTA cost us upwards of 800,000 jobs. Therefore, it is only reasonable to assume that the potential TPP agreement will have similar affects to the NAFTA
A draft of a top-secret piece of interstate agreement on the Trans- Pacific Partnership leaked online causing a hot status to its discussion. Trans -Pacific Partnership (TPP) - is the largest supra-trade and economic organization, the creation of which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2013. In an agreement on the TPP participating countries, generating more than 40% of global GDP: the U.S., Australia, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Brunei, Chile, Vietnam and Peru. China and Russia are not included to this list.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Michael Froman (United States Trade Representative) need to decide whether it is necessary to reduce tariffs to benefit Americans and the economy or keep the tariffs in order to keep certain manufacturing jobs in the United States.
As mentioned earlier, the TPP is a major potential free trade agreement between twelve of the Pacific Rim countries. The countries are Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, The United States, Vietnam, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore (Freil, Sharon, Gleeson, Thow, Labonte, Stuckler, Kay, and Snowdon 1). Interestingly enough, this agreement is the technical successor to the P4 agreement that was initialised in 2006 (Elms 29). This agreement was held between Chile, Brunei, New Zealand, and Singapore. In 2008 the U.S. showed large interest in joining this agreement giving spark to a new agreement that has enticed other Pacific Rim countries (Elms 29). Taking charge of this new agreement the U.S. has laid down most of the TPP 's foundation to create an agreement that should allow for a
Secondly, the TPP includes environmental and labour standards that must be respected by all the participating countries: this in turn will help reduce environmental problems such as the trafficking in endangered species and will force developing countries to respect International Labour Organisation standards (e.g. minimum wages). Personally, I think that this agreement should be ratified, since it would simplify trade relations between the countries in question, paying attention, at the same time, to ethical and environmental issues.
I am writing this letter in regards to the involvement of the U.S. in the current negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. I would like to address the current flaws that this partnership presents for the United States and how it will negatively affect not only our economy, but the American people as well. This agreement with eleven other Asia-Pacific countries aims to “open markets, set high-standard trade rules, and address 21st-century issues in the global economy” (Office of the United States Trade Representative). However, I don’t believe pushing forward with this Free-Trade Agreement is the best way to accomplish this goal. The TPP, to its core, is designed very similarly to the North
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a secretive, multinational trade agreement being negotiated among countries bordering the Pacific Ocean, including the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, and Brunei Darussalam. Together they represent about 40% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The TPP is expected to reduce (or eliminate) trade barriers, facilitate the development of production and supply chains, boost competitiveness and increase the standard of living within the countries involved with the partnership. The agreement could require countries to adopt stricter labor
