Details

Our current world order is in a period of rupture, marked by increasing geo-political competition. This rupture has entirely upended Europe's place in the world, leading it to seek greater strategic autonomy on the world stage. This book is devoted to exploring the impact of these momentous geo-political changes on Europe's legal order. As the book demonstrates, the search for strategic autonomy is increasingly upending many of our key assumptions about EU law, altering its goals, its constitutional underpinnings and key elements of its substantive law.

Examining key emerging fields of EU law and policy, as well as the relation between the European, US, Chinese and international law orders, this book provides a first mapping of the emerging geo-political Europe and its reformed legal architecture. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
