Abstract

The efforts of Singapore Ambassador-At-Large Tommy Koh to negotiate the United States-Singapore Free Trade agreement are explored with an in-depth focus on Koh's management of various fronts of a multiparty negotiation over a sustained period. After briefly describing Ambassador Koh's background, this case describes the underlying reasons for Singapore's desire to reach a free trade agreement with the United States and the barriers to that agreement. Ambassador Koh received the 2014 Program on Negotiation "Great Negotiator" Award.
