Abstract

The Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was enacted for the completion of a US-backed ambitious regional trade pact with 11 countries in the Asia-Pacific. The TPA grants the US President the power to negotiate trade agreements, limiting Congress to vote only up or down on them. This proposed Transpacific Partnership (TTP) puts pressure on countries to join or face greater costs from being left out. These two factors,TPA and the costs of not joining, are what make US Regional Trade Agreements pass
