In the wake of problems in the conclusion of the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO), a host of preferential trade agreements have been negotiated. Recently, this has included the rise of so-called mega-FTAs, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), and a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The talk explores the driving forces for mega-FTAs as well as their likely prospects for a successful conclusion.

He is Professor of Political Science, Affiliated Professor at the Haas School of Business, and Director of the Berkeley APEC Study Center at the University of California at Berkeley.
