THIS WEEK’S EPISODE
On this week’s episode of ‘What’s Next?’ Maggie Feldman-Piltch speaks with ASP Board President Nelson Cunningham about trade, prosperity, and security. Trade agreements set the rules of the road, and the correlation between strong governance and security is well established. This week’s conversation looks at this very issue in closer detail, with a focus on how TPP could in fact be the rising tide that lifts all boats.
