Recommendation
The 2020 Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) represents close to one-third of the world’s population and its productive output.

Plummer look at the potentially formidable trading bloc the RCEP creates and offer the United States ways to rethink its economic and strategic objectives in the area.
