The TPP has given way to the CPTPP. A lot has been written about these agreements. The new text is out.
What is interesting is the information overload - the extent of information on the agreement, it's impact on domestic policies and what is in it for the country. There is a 'national interests' analysis including a Maori interest analysis too. The information is a good lesson in laying out the various aspects of a trade agreement transparently!
The agreement itself runs into pages but what would engage researchers in the coming days is the differences with the original TPP text - a number of original provisions have been suspended. An analysis of suspended provisions that impact New Zealand is laid out here. Exceptions prove the rule?
