The Trans-Pacific Partnership as Megaregulation

IV. Regulatory alignment
1) relationship with a generalized freedom to operate (feature 2): facilitate; complement; different focus on ends and means
2) three components: disciplines on state regulation; convergence and recognition; regulatory coherence
3) Regulatory coherence: aims at promoting more legible and rational administrative space *within* states and regions (usually focused only on reforms within countries)
The concept of regulatory coherence is often focused only on reforms country by country, with the assumption that this will cumulatively bring development of a more integrated regulatory landscape throughout the region. Such a smoother state regulatory landscape is expected to complement the existing, substantially *private* global legal infrastructure and to align the participating states *public* law institutions with transnational market ordering. (emphasis added)
