The Brussels effect: How the European Union rules the world

This event will feature the presentation of the book: “The Brussels Effect: How the European Union rules the world” by Anu Bradford. She argues that the European Union has a significant amount of power on a global level. The EU shows this power in different policy areas such as data privacy, consumer safety, environmental protection and competition rules. The book also looks at the implications for the UK after Brexit. Anu Bradford argues that regardless of the nature of the relationship after Brexit, the UK will not be able to escape the EU’s regulatory reach.
