Study of the Possible Pathways to the Free Trade Area of Asia-Pacific (FTAAP)

The expansions to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) have been identified as possible pathways to the realization of a Free Trade Area of Asia Pacific (FTAAP). Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is serving as an incubator for various regional initiatives.
