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.
