The UK leaving the EU may very well be the triggering event for the trouble the west has been storing up for itself in the previous half-century. If Davidson and Ree-Mogg are correct then, in terms they would use, the megapolitical foundations of society have eroded to such a point the societies will reorganize themselves. It seems likely that the large nation state does not fit current economic and technological conditions. If this is true then you will know it when much more decentralized institutions arise in the first turning.
One reason why you are seeing TPP is because the multinationals see it as the only way to hold off smaller competitors. The other is that China and Russia are starting to create their own equivalents to western led organizations such as SWIFT and the IMF.
