 For many observers, the European Union is mired in a deep crisis. Between sluggish growth; political turmoil following a decade of austerity politics; Brexit; and the rise of Asian influence, the EU is seen as a declining power on the world stage.Columbia Law professor Anu Bradford argues the opposite in her important new book The Brussels Effect: the EU remains an influential superpower that shapes the world in its image. By promulgating regulations that shape the international business environment, elevating standards worldwide, and leading to a notable Europeanization of many important aspects of global commerce, the EU has managed to shape policy in areas such as data privacy, consumer health and safety, environmental protection, antitrust, and online hate speech. And in contrast to how superpowers wield their global influence, the Brussels Effect - a phrase first coined by Bradford in 2012- absolves the EU from playing a direct role in imposing standards, as market forces alone are often sufficient as multinational companies voluntarily extend the EU rule to govern their global operations. The Brussels Effect shows how the EU has acquired such power, why multinational companies use EU standards as global standards, and why the EU's role as the world's regulator is likely to outlive its gradual economic decline, extending the EU's influence long into the future. - A groundbreaking new account of economic globalization and the race to the top for global regulatory standards - Reveals the EU's unique power to influence global corporations and set the rules of the game while acting alone - Covers comprehensively the EU's global influence across diverse policy areas from data privacy and consumer safety to environmental protection and competition rules - Explains why neither a 'hard' or 'soft' Brexit will liberate the UK from the EU's regulatory reach Table of Contents Introduction: The Brussels Effect Preface to Part One: Theory Chapter 1.
