Details

This comprehensive Research Handbook analyses the EU’s pivotal role in an era where internal regulation and external engagement are deeply intertwined. Expert contributors examine how emerging global challenges make the EU’s dual capacity as both a rule-taker and a rule-maker ever more vital.

Chapters assess EU strategies for addressing world issues through a dynamic interplay of internal policies including legislation, market tools and coordination and external actions such as treaties, diplomacy and international partnerships. The book explores issues such as climate change, digital transformation, migration, pandemics, poverty and sustainability, highlighting the interconnectedness of these topics and the EU’s use of a diverse toolbox of legal, economic and diplomatic instruments. This Research Handbook provides a nuanced perspective on the EUs evolving influence as a global actor – one that both adapts to and reshapes the international landscape.

The Research Handbook on EU Law and Global Challenges is a crucial resource for students and scholars of EU law, global and transnational law, public international law, and international relations interested in learning more about key approaches and policy debates. Practitioners in EU law and public policy will also benefit from its insights into the legal operation of the EU in a global context.
