This innovative textbook introduces the idea of law existing,
operating, and functioning beyond the Nation State. Offering a
structured approach, Elaine Fahey breaks down the core aspects of
theory, practice and regulation in order to examine the key
conceptual and factual components of the relationship between law
and global governance. An excellent teaching resource for both
undergraduate and postgraduate levels, the key features of this
textbook include: ? An interdisciplinary approach to the
understanding of the interaction of law and globalisation to
provide readers with snapshots of key thematic issues? Four
substantive chapters on global governance, actors, sovereignty, and
borders and territory to help the reader engage with a diversity of
themes and topics, united under broader concepts which are at the
heart of understanding what is beyond the Nation State? Two further
chapters on trade and data to immerse the reader further into areas
of law beyond the State which are important in contemporary times?
Highlighted boxes to help identify key information, whilst further
reflection points and suggested further reading at the end of each
chapter offer context to the topics discussed. With its broad
theoretical reach, this textbook will be an invaluable teaching and
learning tool for students of law, international relations,
politics, political science, governance, and transnational law and
governance.
This timely book investigates the EU's multi-faceted development as
a global actor, unpacking its legal mission to be a 'good' actor as
well as exploring the complexities of fulfilling this objective. It
elicits critical reflections on the question of 'goodness' in EU
external relations from descriptive, analytical and normative
perspectives, and examines which metrics of actorness are useful in
tackling this subject. Featuring contributions from more than 20
leading EU scholars and emerging voices, the book develops four
themes through which it advances a research agenda for the study of
the EU as a good global actor. The book begins by unpacking the
complexities of the EU as a global trade actor, before discussing
'good' trade governance and a deeper trade agenda, the issue of
data governance in digital trade and in other regulatory
frameworks, and finally the institutional dimension of EU
actorness. Understanding the EU as a Good Global Actor will be a
crucial read for scholars and students in EU law and politics,
particularly those with an interest in EU governance, trade and
external relations. It will also prove useful for policy makers
both within and outside the EU.

This timely book invites the reader to explore the lexicon of
'subjects' and 'objects' of EU law as a platform from which several
dilemmas and omissions of EU law can be researched. It includes a
number of case studies from different fields of law that deploy
this lexicon, structuring the contributions around three principal
elements of EU law: its transformations, crises and
external-internal dynamics. The carefully structured case studies
cover a wide range of areas in EU law, such as constitutional law,
administrative law, external relations, trade and citizenship and
present perspectives from a variety of EU Member States. The expert
contributors explore how to discuss, analyze and frame core
elements of a supranational legal order. This broad-ranging and
collaborative research effort presents a fresh, critical
perspective on contemporary EU law. The book offers a reflection on
recent crises of the EU, such as Brexit, looking beyond the field
of law to present solutions that apply theories of political
economy, social theory and political theory. This thought-provoking
narrative of EU law will be of interest to scholars in this field
as well as to those in public international law, international
relations, sociology, governance and political science.

The Routledge Handbook of Transatlantic Relations is an essential
and comprehensive reference for the regulation of transatlantic
relations across a range of subjects, bringing together
contributions from scholars, policy makers, lawyers and political
scientists. Future oriented in a range of fields, it probes the key
technical, procedural and policy issues for the US of dealing with,
negotiating, engaging and law-making with the EU, taking a broad
interdisciplinary perspective including international relations,
politics, political economic and law, EU external relations law and
international law and assesses the external consequences of
transatlantic relations in a systematic and comprehensive fashion.
The transatlantic relationship constitutes one of the most
established and far-reaching democratic alliances globally, and
which has propelled multilateralism, trade regulation and the EU-US
relationship in global challenges. The different contributions will
propose solutions to overcome these problems and help us understand
the shifting transatlantic agenda in diverse areas from human
rights, to trade, and security, and the capacity of the
transatlantic relationship to set new international agendas,
standards and rules. The Routledge Handbook of Transatlantic
Relations will be a key reference for scholars, students and
practitioners of Transatlantic Relations/EU-US relations, EU
External Relations law, EU rule-making, EU Security law and more
broadly to global governance, International law, international
political economy and international relations.
Timely and engaging, this topical book examines how Brexit is
intertwined with the concepts of justice and injustice. Legal
scholars across a range of subjects and disciplines utilise a
multitude of case studies from consumer law, asylum law, legal
theory, public law and private law, in order to explore the impact
of Brexit on our ideas of justice. The book as a whole aims to
engage with the methodology, lexicon and explicitness of analytical
perspectives in relation to Brexit. The EU is the epitome of a
globalised world: an organisation with a huge number of members,
partners and collaborators, seeking to further common goals, with
pooling of resources to address shared concerns. Much attention has
been paid to justices or injustices in relation to the impact that
they have on beginning or increasing global relations, and in turn
on individuals or groups. This thought-provoking book analyses the
reverse: what justice is brought about by withdrawal therefrom? On
Brexit will be of great interest to students and academics working
on EU law and politics and global relations due to its
interdisciplinary nature. It will also be a key resource for both
UK and EU governments and policy actors seeking to broaden their
perspective on Brexit. Contributors include: T. Ahmed, S.

Despite its centrality to academic discussions of power and
influence, there is little consensus in legal scholarship over what
constitutes an actor in rule-making. This book explores the range
of actors involved in rule-making within European Union law and
Public International law, and focuses especially on actors that are
often overlooked by formative and doctrinal approaches. Drawing
together contributions from many scholars in various fields the
book examines such issues as the accommodation of new actors in the
process of postnational rule-making, the visibility or covertness
of actors within the process, and the role of social acceptance and
legitimacy in postnational rule-making. In its endeavour to render
and examine the work and effect of actors often side-lined in the
study of postnational rule-making, this book will be of great use
and interest to students and scholars of EU law, international law
and socio-legal studies.

The EU strives to be a leading rule-making organisation with global
reach in both economic and non-economic fields. But how should we
understand the science behind this? This book focuses upon
unpacking the uncertainty, the form and directions of the global
reach of EU law, as a distinctive form of post-national
rule-making. The work examines two central themes: the conceptual
development of the global reach and effects of EU law; and the
methodology of EU rule-making processes. It considers what specific
impact and effects the EU's rules are having, and its approach to
global reach. The book studies the EU's Area of Freedom, Security
and Justice (AFSJ) as a case of a non-economic field offering
examples of ways and means in which the global reach of EU law can
manifest itself in an evolving and sensitive field. Using this
casestudy, the book develops a sharper focus upon the 'internal'
and 'external' elements of EU law which make up our understanding
of the global reach of EU law and develops further why global reach
is important as a scientific phenomenon. The book will be a
valuable resource for researchers and students in the areas of EU
law, global governance and the study of law beyond the nation
state.
This volume collects papers that explore institutionalisation in
contemporary transatlantic relations. Policymakers, lawyers, and
political scientists reflect on contemporary understandings of the
process as an integration of regimes and orders from an EU
perspective. The papers assess whether contemporary transatlantic
relations call for a different approach to global governance with a
heightened emphasis on institutionalisation. The book explores a
diverse range of case studies of interest to a broad readership. In
particular, it focuses upon two cutting-edge issues: transatlantic
data privacy rules that are emerging after the post-Edward Snowdon
/ NSA / PRISM revelations; and trade aspects, especially the
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Agreement.
The contributors consider these case studies from a variety of
perspectives, honing in on the dynamism, method, and high politics
of transatlantic relations as they have recently evolved. They
critically explore the commonly held assumption that transatlantic
relations have historically been considered quasi-institutionalised
at best or, at worst, lacking in terms of laws and institutions. Is
institutionalisation a useful meeting point for all disciplines?
Does it explain regional integration meaningfully across subjects?
Can institutionalisation serve to promote accountability and good
governance? Contributors across disciplines and subjects address
these increasingly challenging and salient questions.

This interdisciplinary book explores the concept of convergence of
the EU with the global legal order. It captures the actions,
law-making and practice of the EU as a cutting-edge actor in the
world promoting convergence 'against the grain'. In a dynamic
'twist' the book uses methodology to reflect upon some of the most
dramatically changing dimensions of current global affairs.
Questions explored include: who and what are the subjects and
objects of convergence as to the EU and the world? How do
'court-centric' and less 'court-centric' approaches differ? Can we
use political science and international relations as 'service
tools'? Four key themes are probed: - framing EU convergence; -
global trade against convergence; - the EU as the exceptional
internationalist; and - positioning convergence through
methodology.
This is the first book-length treatment of the advancement of EU
global data flows and digital trade through the framework of
European institutionalisation. Drawing on case studies of EU-US,
EU-Japan and EU-China relations it charts the theoretical and
empirical approaches at play. It illustrates how the EU has
pioneered high standards in data flows and how it engages in
significant digital trade reforms, committed to those standards.
The book marks a major shift in how institutionalisation and the EU
should be viewed as it relates to two of the more extraordinary
areas of global governance: trade and data flows. This significant
book will be of interest to EU constitutional lawyers, as well as
those researching in the field of IT and data law.

In the Irish legal order, there is a rapid increase in the amount
of case law on European Union law. This book analyzes the key case
laws, texts, and commentaries in a diversity of EU law-related
subject areas, and it provides an up-to-date and comprehensive
collection of materials on EU law. The standard published texts in
EU law do not include any materials as to the Irish legal order,
and research considering the operation of EU law in the national
courts has frequently excluded data as to Ireland on the basis of a
paucity of case law. However, in recent years, there has been a
major increase in case law in this area from the Irish Superior
Courts and a large increase in EU Regulations and Directives in
Irish law. A collection of key case law and materials is now a
timely one. A mini-schedule of relevant primary legislation and
constitutional texts are included in the book, which will be of
major interest to students, academics, practitioners, and
government/public servants.
