The Resurrection of the Trans-Pacific Partnership as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership
When the United States decided to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017, many thought that the TPP was dead.

In this article, Duc Tran together with Quynh Lien Nguyen of ZICO Law Vietnam (a member of ZICO Law) share their insights into the resurrection of TPP as CPTPP and its highlighted impact on ASEAN and the Asia Pacific.
