Description

This book focuses on a review of how sixty years of case-law and regulatory activity transformed the European continent and the world. It provides a critical analysis of the key features of EU integration and how this integration is perceived (internally and externally). In this context, this book also explores the EUs interactions with a number of other countries and organisations with the objective of assessing the EUs role in global governance.

Reviews

In summary, this new volume offers a rich and dense panorama of the multiple challenges that the EU confronts in its daily external action, including many that remain underexplored in the literature. One of the originalities of this anthology lies in the comparative dimension of the issues examined. Moreover, while many of the questions investigated appear at first sight to be niche issues, the volume develops a web of interconnections that raise overarching and even paradigmatic questions The collections balance coupled with the originality of the approaches adopted in many of its chapters demonstrate, overall, the volumes strength: it brings together internal market and EU external action specialists as well as trade policy analysts to shed important new light on some of the most topical challenges faced by the EU on the global economic stage. -- Julien Miral, University of Cambridge * European Law Review *
At present, it is impossible to investigate the law, politics and economy separately because they are so inter-entangled. This complexity is perfectly addressed the present edited volume (produced to celebrate 60 years of European integration) in which current legal issues are analysed along with legal challenges to the EUs role as a global actor and commercial policy as its crucial policy field Overall, having met its own aims, the volume certainly deserves attention. * Journal of Common Market Studies *
At some 500 pages, Sixty Years of European Integration and Global Power Shifts is not a brief bedtime story. Yet its page range reflects one of the books major strengths: its comprehensive nature, which has become so characteristic of Julien Chaisses work. Another of Chaisses fortes, to bring together a wide variety of people working on different aspects of a certain theme, is equally displayed in the book, which includes contributions from academics, legal practitioners (including arbitrators), policy advisors and consultants, and a judge of the Court of Justice of the European Union These make Sixty Years of European Integration and Global Power Shifts especially valuable reading whilst a pandemic is raging through the world, stopping nearly all, but geopolitics. * Foreign Trade Review *
By bringing together experts on each specific topic they examined, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the EU integration process and power shifts over the recent trade war and developments in the world. Due to its importance and excellent discussions, Professor Chaisses book is going to be consulted as a reference book on EU law and EU integration. -- Deniz Baran * Annales de la Facult de Droit dIstanbul *
This comprehensive and timely book takes the readers on an intriguing journey by successfully capturing the exciting anticipation of EU law this book combines business relations, sustainability and future-oriented research in a comprehensive and persuasive way. For this very reason, it would not be wrong to express frankly that this book we have reviewed stands before us as a must read book for those who are interested in EU law and EU integration. -- Mustafa Serhat Kasikara * Law & Justice Review *
The variety of the topics covered and the overall clarity of presentation certainly make the work worthy of attention. -- Martino Zulberti * Diritto del Commercio Internazionale (Bloomsbury translation) *
