商品描述

Originally called the Trans-Pacific Partnership until the USA withdrew in 2017, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is an ambitious and wide-ranging free trade agreement between eleven Pacific countries. Far from faltering after US withdrawal, several more countries have since applied to join, including China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Some observers see in this a contest between China and the USA for wider influence through an attempt to control or re-write the rules of international trade; at a minimum accession by any of the three would have a major impact on the CPTPP as originally envisaged.

This edited volume considers the three applications, the motivations for the three to join, and the likely responses of existing members. The implications for cross-Strait tension between China and Taiwan are fully considered, as is the ability or willingness of the USA to influence the outcome of the applications.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

最初被稱為跨太平洋夥伴關係(Trans-Pacific Partnership),直到美國在2017年撤回參與,全面與進步跨太平洋夥伴關係協定(CPTPP)是一項雄心勃勃且範圍廣泛的自由貿易協定,涉及十一個太平洋國家。在美國撤回後,CPTPP並未停滯不前,反而有更多國家申請加入,包括中國、台灣和英國。一些觀察人士認為,這是中國與美國之間為擴大影響力而展開的競爭,試圖控制或重寫國際貿易規則;至少,這三個國家的任何一個加入都將對CPTPP的原始構想產生重大影響。

本書編輯的內容考慮了這三個申請、這三個國家加入的動機,以及現有成員可能的反應。對於中國與台灣之間的兩岸緊張局勢的影響也進行了充分考量,同時也探討了美國影響申請結果的能力或意願。
