    Stoking the Engine of Growth: Tim Groser Discusses the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Trade Integration in the Asia-Pacific Region
    in New Zealand International Review , July 2014 ,  2014
    The link between involvement in comprehensive free trade agreements, or trade and investment integration agreements by whatever name, and internal reform is certainly nothing new. It has been evident in economies as diverse as New Zealand's and China's. Japan, too, has recognised the importance of such an approach. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has indicated that his government sees structural adjustment as crucial to the success of his internal economic programme. And central to that adjustment is the success of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The entry of Japan into the TPP negotiation was transformational. The addition of the world's third largest economy immediately raised the stakes.
