Trade Disrupted
“Southeast Asian Affairs, first published in 1974, continues today to be required reading for not only scholars but the general public interested in in-depth analysis of critical cultural, economic and political issues in Southeast Asia.

The Origins and Evolution of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Negotiations
The text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement and more than 5,000 pages of individual country schedules were released in October 2015 after five years of negotiations. Its transformation from a small agreement to one of the deepest and broadest trade deals ever, with 12 members, highlights the challenges of negotiating modern comprehensive trade agreements
The Trans-Pacific Partnership
Much has been made of the “spaghetti or noodle bowl” problem of overlapping preferential trade agreements (PTA).

The TPP will lower or eliminate barriers to trade among the partners. But officials…

The three research ideas illustrated in this article—framing and loss aversion, myopic time horizons, and fairness—highlight concepts of considerable utility for IPE researchers. This article uses previously published International Organization articles, reformulated to consider the same puzzl…
How Bargaining Alters Outcomes

I argue that trade officials reach the most durable agreements by using an integrative, or value-creating, strategy and avoiding the use of threats. By contrast, a highly distributive, value-claiming strategy coupled with loud public threats is unlikely to result in a durable agreement and frequently leads to deadlocked negotiat…
Large Costs, Small Benefits
The United States frequently engages in negotiations with its trading partners over expanded market access for American firms. Although many of these negotiations involve markets worth millions or even billions of dollars, sometimes government officials bargain long and hard over issues that were never predicted to result in substantial benefits. For example, the United States held negotiations with Japan for more than 30 years over increased mar…
