The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership

Despite America’s withdrawal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership has made a surprising comeback. What will this mean for Australia and Japan, and where does the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership fit into the mix? In this sideline interview at the Japan-Australia symposium held at ANU Crawford School on 16 February, Professor Fukunari Kimura discusses trade and globalisation with Callum Dargevel from ANU.

Fukunari Kimura has been Professor, Faculty of Economics, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan since 2000 and Chief Economist, Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), Jakarta, Indonesia since 2008.
