Wielded by major economic powers, linkages between trade and such
issues as environmental protection and human rights have become a
widely used and controversial policy instrument. This volume
provides a comprehensive and authoritative analysis, across
issue-areas, of the European Union's deployment of trade to advance
its normative goals.' - Miles Kahler, Council on Foreign
Relations'The EU treaties call for the EU to promote its core
values internationally. Trade is one instrument to do so: linking
preferential access to the large EU market to convergence towards
EU or internationally agreed norms. The volume offers an insightful
discussion of the scope for, and the effectiveness of, EU trade
linkage strategies to influence the labour, environmental and human
rights-related policies of selected trade partners. It advances the
state of our knowledge on a controversial and important subject.' -
Bernard Hoekman, EUI and CEPR, Italy A 'new generation' of EU trade
policies aims to advance public goods such as promoting sustainable
development, protecting human rights and enhancing governance in
third states. The pursuit of these objectives raises important
questions regarding coherence, effectiveness, legitimacy and
extraterritoriality. In Global Governance through Trade leading
scholars from different disciplines address these topical
questions. The book contains a comprehensive analysis of the
concept of governing through trade and investigates how the EU
'exports' regulation through conditional market access regulation,
bilateral trade agreements and unilateral trade policy. Several
case studies complement the general analysis and provide an
in-depth assessment of the European Union's new trade policies.
This multidisciplinary book will be an enlightening read for a
wide-ranging audience encompassing academics, policymakers, policy
analysts and students of, amongst others, trade law and policy,
global governance, sustainable development, human rights and labor
standards. Contributors: L. Bartels, L. Beke, N.A.J. Croquet, C.
