Abstract: Abstract Although President Trump has scuttled the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, it probably reflected the US transnational corporate elite’s consensus view of how its interests should be advanced through free trade agreements. Besides the likely modest and uneven growth impact of its trade measures, its enhanced intellectual property rights and extra-judicial investor-state dispute settlement provisions would adversely impact development prospects.
