Summary
This book addresses the impact of EU law beyond its own borders, the use
of law as a powerful instrument of EU external action, and some of the
normative challenges this poses. The phenomenon of EU law operating
beyond its borders, which may be termed its 'global reach', includes the
extraterritorial application of EU law, territorial extension, and the
so-called 'Brussels Effect' resulting from unilateral legislative and
regulatory action, but also includes the impact of the EU's bilateral
relationships, and its engagement with multilateral fora and the
negotiation of international legal instruments.
The book maps
this phenomenon across a range of policy fields, including the
environment, the internet and data protection, banking and financial
markets, competition policy, and migration. It argues that in looking
beyond the undoubtedly important instrumental function of law we can
start to identify the ways in which law shapes the EU's external
identity and its relations with other legal regimes, both enabling and
constraining the EU's external action.
