On March 12, 2015, Professor Byoung Kwon SOHN from Chung-Ang University gave a lecture to GSIS students in the FTA Business and Strategy program on the topic, ‘TPP and the Structure of the US Congress.’ Since it is important for the Obama administration to receive the trade promotion authority (TPA) from the Congress in order to proceed further with the TPP, Professor Sohn emphasized the importance of understanding the structure of the current US Congress to predict the future of TPP.
