In light of these high stakes, the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) established an Independent Commission on Trade Policy, chaired by ASPI Vice President Wendy Cutler, to examine the regional trade landscape, and offer the best path forward in the Asia-Pacific region to liberalize trade, raise standards and promote broad reforms. In its report Charting a Course for Trade and Economic Integration in the Asia-Pacific, the Commission makes a number of pragmatic recommendations which aim to promote high standards and inclusiveness in trade agreements, drive forward regional economic integration, build support for trade agreements by better communicating their benefits, and work with multilateral fora to help assuage the concerns of those who fear being disenfranchised by trade and globalization.
Join Wendy Cutler to better understand the future of the Asian trade landscape and to give recommendations.
Wendy Cutler is Vice President of the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI), Vice President and Managing Director of the Asia Society’s Washington, DC, Office. In this capacity, she focuses on building ASPI’s presence in Washington - strengthening its outreach as a think/do tank - and on leading initiatives that address challenges related to trade and women’s empowerment in Asia. Ms. Cutler joined ASPI following an illustrious career of nearly three decades as a diplomat and negotiator in the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR). Most recently, she served as Acting Deputy US Trade Representative, working on a range of US trade negotiations and initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region. In that capacity, she played a key role in the negotiation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, including the bilateral negotiations with Japan.
