Trans Pacific Partnership; It’s Not Your Parents’ Trade Agreement

UCI Law School Professor Gregory Shaffer, a welcome resource at a timely moment, brings a nuanced perspective to help us make sense of the Trans Pacific Partnership. Follow this director of The Center On Law, Globalization and Society at: http://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/shaffer/,http://www.law.uci.edu/academics/centers/glas/, and http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=85914; or on articles he has written with his colleague and wife, Michelle Goodwin, posted on the Huffington Post. Electronic Frontier Foundation is one source that Shaffer recommends for monitoring the news coming from Maui where negotiations on the TPP continue at this writing.
