The outlook for the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement to be ratified remains uncertain, particularly given the political hurdles facing the world’s most ambitious trade pact. That has not, however, stopped the debate about the possibility of expanding TPP membership beyond the 12 founding members. Certainly, TPP would not only enhance trade relations, but it could also further security as well as diplomatic relations, especially in Asia. Join us for a discussion on the prospects for South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian nations  yet to join the TPP including Indonesia, and how the pact’s future could impact the political as well as economic landscape of the region.

Registration begins at 9:45 a.m., light refreshments will be served.
