Special Issue on: The Impact and Implications of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) on Global Trade

  • Why the CPTPP could be an impetus for the new globalisation   Order a copy of this article
    by Dimos Chatzinikolaou, Charis Vlados 
    Abstract: This paper investigates the comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-pacific partnership (CPTPP) as a potential driving force for the emerging phase of globalisation, termed the new globalisation. It introduces the new globalisation scenario matrix (NGSM) to assess the CPTPPs role within this framework. Our study finds that the CPTPP aligns with a medium-high performance scenario, notably emphasising environmental regulations that both counter climate change and anticipate challenges arising from increased cross-border trade and enhanced regional integration. As the world navigates pressing challenges today, the CPTPP emerges as a potentially important player, promoting trade liberalisation while upholding environmental protection, and pointing the way for future international accords.
    Keywords: CPTPP; new globalisation; environmental regulations; trade liberalisation; evolutionary structural triptych; EST; new globalisation scenario matrix; NGSM; International Political Economy; IPE.

  • Unpacking Japans informal leadership in the trans-pacific partnership/comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-pacific partnership   Order a copy of this article
    by Siti Darwinda Mohamed Pero, Muhammad Ali Ridha Norman, O.K. Mohammad Fajar Ikhsan, Shazwanis Shukri, Zain Maulana 
    Abstract: The comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-pacific partnership (CPTPP), which came into effect on December 30, 2018, is described as a cutting-edge trade agreement. Despite the USA’ withdrawal and subsequent minor modifications made to the previous iteration of the agreement, known as the trans-pacific partnership (TPP), the CPTPP continues to be a catalyst for transformation. This paper aims to assess Japan’s informal leadership roles, particularly after the USA chose to exit the agreement. Through document analysis, this study presents its findings on Japan’s informal leadership roles in maintaining and advancing the CPTPP’s agenda. The findings reveal that, thus far, Japan has effectively exercised its informal leadership in two instances: first, in leading the CPTPP when the USA abandoned the agreement, and second, in facilitating the accession of potential new member states to this mega free trade agreement.
    Keywords: Japan leadership; informal leadership; regionalism; multilateral trade agreement; TPP/CPTP.
