The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement: What? Why? And ASEAN
South East Asia countries map on a globe
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) has been ten years in development and is so shrouded in the tightly wound cogs of national secrecy that it’s acquired an almost legendary aura of mystery.
