International Economic and Trade Law Titles (2018-2019)


Social Legitimacy inthe Internal MarketA Dialogue of Mutual ResponsivenessJotte MulderThis book is concerned with the social legitimacy of internal market law. What does social legitimacy entail within the multi-level ‘embedded liberalism’ construction of the internal market? How can the objectives of the internal market that focus on economic rights and a commitment to social diversity both be pursued without one necessarily trumping

the other? These questions continue to challenge the very core of European integration. How can the diversity of Member States’ ‘social systems’ and the varying normative infrastructure of their economies be sustainably accommodated within the internal market? This book seeks to contribute to these questions by discussing what has come to be known as the argument from transnational effects and the development of an adjudicative model for the European Court of Justice that can be termed ‘socially responsive’. Drawing on the historical insights of Karl Polanyi it argues that the internal market can only be held to be socially legitimate where it supports the requirement for further market integration while still responding to social practices and values within the member states. The book presents in-depth studies of the case law of the Court in the areas of EU free movement, competition and state aid law. In so doing, this important new study aims to provide the language and tools for assessing social legitimacy in the internal market.

Jotte Mulder is an Assistant Professor at the Europa Institute, at the University of Utrecht.

The EU as a Global Regulator for Environmental ProtectionA Legitimacy PerspectiveIoanna HadjiyianniThis book critically examines the extension of the scope of application of EU environmental legislation beyond EU borders by conditioning access to the EU market on the basis of processes that take place in third countries. It makes a timely contribution to political debates about the relations of the EU with non-EU countries, and the EU’s role in global governance in a policy field where the

EU has been considered a global leader. The book aims to identify and explain the emerging legal phenomenon of internal environmental measures with extraterritorial implications as important manifestations of EU global regulatory power. The book assesses the extraterritorial reach of EU environmental law from a legitimacy perspective and examines mechanisms that can bolster its legitimacy, focusing on the legal orders of EU and WTO law, which are key legal fora for controlling the EU’s global regulatory power.

Ioanna Hadjiyianni is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Cyprus.

China’s Implementation of the Rulings of the World Trade OrganizationWeihuan ZhouAmid the ongoing crisis surrounding the WTO, China’s role and behaviour in the multilateral trading system has attracted overwhelming attention. This timely monograph provides the first comprehensive and systemic analysis of China’s compliance with the rulings of the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism (DSM). It covers all the disputes in which China has been a respondent during

its 17-year WTO membership and offers a detailed discussion of China’s implementation of adverse WTO rulings, its approaches to settling WTO disputes, the possible explanations for such approaches, and post-compliance issues. The book shows how China has utilised the limitations and flexibilities of WTO rulings to ensure that its implementation of the rulings not only delivers adequate compliance but also maintains its own interests.

Overall, this book argues that the issues relating to the quality of China’s compliance and post-compliance practices have to do with the loopholes within the DSM itself which may be utilised by all WTO Members. However, despite the loopholes, China’s record of compliance suggests that the DSM has been largely effective in inducing compliance and influencing domestic policy-making. It is therefore in the interest of all WTO Members and other stakeholders to protect the DSM as the “crown jewel” of the multilateral trading system.

Weihuan Zhou is Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales.

Restoring Trust in TradeLiber Amicorum in Honourof Peter Van den BosscheEdited by Denise Prévost,Iveta Alexovicová andJens Hillebrand PohlIn the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the world has witnessed increasing manifestations of eroding trust in the international trade regime, including Brexit and the Trump administration’s unilateral trade policies. Restoring trust in the international trading system is essential

to prevent the rise of economic nationalism and beggar-thy-neighbour policies, which as history has shown are a threat to global welfare and peace.

As a scholar, counsellor of the WTO Appellate Body Secretariat, and, between 2009 and 2017, a member of the WTO Appellate Body, Peter Van den Bossche has addressed the challenges faced by the international trade regime and has tirelessly promoted trust in the multilateral governance model. This Liber Amicorum honours his contribution to the development of a ‘trustworthy’ rules-based multilateral trading system, which has left a lasting legacy.

In this timely book, leading experts and friends of Peter Van den Bossche, including his mentors, colleagues and PhD candidates, come together to pay tribute to his work by exploring, from a legal perspective, what can be done to restore trust in trade, focusing on: (1) ensuring a robust institutional framework that promotes rule of law over power politics, (2) safeguarding the integrity and effectiveness of trade dispute settlement, and (3) ensuring that substantive international trade rules appropriately balance trade and non-trade interests.

Denise Prévost, Iveta Alexovicová and Jens Hillebrand Pohl research and teach in the field of international economic law at the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University, where they are respectively Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, and Lecturer and Doctoral Researcher.

The EU, World Trade Law and the Right to FoodRethinking Free Trade Agreements with Developing CountriesGiovanni GruniIn recent years the European Union has developed a comprehensive strategy to conclude free trade agreements which includes not only prominent trade partners such as Canada, the United States and Japan but also numerous developing countries.

This book looks at the existing WTO law and at the new EU free trade agreements with the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa through the lens of the human right to adequate food. It shows how the clauses on the import and export of food included in recent free trade agreements limit the capacity of these countries to implement food security policies and to respect their human rights obligations. This outcome appears to be at odds with international human rights law and dismissive of existing human rights references in EU-founding treaties as well as in treaties between the EU and developing states.

Yet, the book argues against the conception in human rights literature that there is an inflexible agenda encoded in world trade law which is fundamentally conflictual with non-economic interests. The book puts forward the idea that the European Union is perfectly placed to develop a narrative of globalisation considering other areas of public international law when negotiating trade agreements and argues that the EU does have the competences and influence to uphold a role of international leadership in designing a sustainable global trading system. Will the EU be ambitious enough?

A timely contribution to the growing academic literature on the relation between world trade law and international human rights law, this book imagines a central role for the EU in reconciling these two areas of international law.

Giovanni Gruni is a research fellow at ESADE Law School.

Regional Economic Integration and Dispute Settlement in East AsiaThe Evolving Legal FrameworkAnna G TeviniThe accession of the People’s Republic of China to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 significantly transformed the global economy both de facto and de jure. At the regional level, China’s WTO accession served as an important catalyst for the establishment of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) in East Asia. This was a

novel development for the region, since East Asian States had previously followed a largely informal, market-driven approach to regional economic integration. By contrast, rules-based economic integration involving East Asian States was traditionally limited to multilateral integration under the GATT/WTO framework.

This book systematically analyses and explains the development, nature and challenges of rules-based regional economic integration in East Asia with particular attention to the region’s first four RTAs. While also addressing the socio-economic, historical and political factors influencing the development of RTAs in East Asia, the book focuses on the legal institutions governing economic integration in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as under the ASEAN–China Comprehensive Economic Co-Operation Agreement (ACFTA), the Japan–Singapore New Age Economic Partnership Agreement (JSEPA), and the Mainland China–Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA). The book provides a systematic, comparative account of the scope, depth and (hard law versus soft law) quality of rules-based economic integration achieved under these four RTAs in the areas of trade in goods and services, investment liberalisation and protection, labour mobility, and dispute settlement.

Anna G Tevini is an attorney with Shearman & Sterling LLP in New York whose practice focuses on international arbitration and Asia-related internal investigations.

Patent Games inthe Global SouthPharmaceutical Patent Law Making in Brazil, India and NigeriaAmaka VanniThis thought-provoking analysis of pharmaceutical patent law in Brazil, India and Nigeria provides an account of how certain developing countries seek to work around the imposition of strict IP laws under the auspices of the TRIPS Agreement and WTO. This monograph explores why the experience of Nigeria - a country active in opposing the inclusion of IP under the

WTO framework - is so different from that of the experiences of Brazil and India.

Focus is drawn to the ways in which the role of social networks and relationships between a variety of actors alter the framing, and subsequently, the responses to the national implementation of the international IP regime. In the process, the monograph offers a timely contribution to the further understanding of the everyday life of international framework for the protection of IP rights, and its domestic implications on medicines access and public health.

This book was awarded the 2018 SIEL-Hart Prize in International Economic Law.

Amaka Vanni holds a PhD in International Economic Law from the University of Warwick and is a writer and documentary filmmaker based in Lagos, Nigeria.

Sanctions LawRichard Gordon QC,Michael Smyth and Tom CornellThis book creates a user-friendly, accessible guide to the complex area of sanctions law. In particular, the book examines how sanctions restrictions work in practice, and what the implications are for multinational businesses operating across numerous sanctions regimes. To this extent, the book considers the interrelationship between sanctions at the supranational and national levels, including the impact of the far-reaching US sanctions regime. The book’s

aim is not to provide an exhaustive list of sanctions regulations, but rather a framework for engaging with the relevant legislation and the main issues arising therefrom. Reinforcing this practical and commercially-focused approach, each chapter is written in a format that enables easy reading and rapid assimilation. Where there are relevant materials, be they legislative or case-law, these are outlined at the start of each chapter. In addition, the chapters dealing with challenges to sanctions designations each include a section with key principles, providing the clearest possible treatment of the subject.

Richard Gordon QC is a leading public law silk and barrister at Brick Court Chambers. Michael Smyth CBE is a former partner at Clifford Chance and QC (honoris causa). Tom Cornell is a barrister and associate at Debevoise & Plimpton.

The New Lex Mercatoria and its SourcesJan H DalhuisenVolume 1, in the first chapter, covers the

roots and foundations of private law; the different origins, structure, and orientation of civil and common law; the forces behind the emergence of a new transnational commercial and financial legal order, its meaning, concepts, and operation; the theoretical basis of the transnationalisation of the law in the professional sphere in that order; its methodology and the autonomous sources of the new law merchant or modern lex mercatoria, its international finance-driven impulses, and its relationship to domestic and transnational public policy and public order requirements. The second chapter covers the transnationalisation of dispute resolution in that order, especially international arbitration, and contains a critical analysis of the main challenges to its success, continuing credibility, and effectiveness.

Dalhuisen on Transnational Comparative, Commercial, Financial and Trade Law Volume 2Contract and Movable Property LawJan H DalhuisenVolume 2 deals with the transnationalisation of contract; movable and intangible property law; and the transformation of the models of contract and movable property in commercial and financial transactions between professionals in the international

flow of goods, services, money, information, and technology. In this transnational legal order, the emphasis in the new law merchant or modern lex mercatoria of contract and movable property turns to risk management, asset liquidity, and transactional and payment finality. Common law and civil law concepts are compared and future directions indicated. The potential, effects, and challenges of the blockchain are noted, so far especially for the carriage of goods by sea.

the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent regulatory responses in the US and Europe.

A section on regulation critically reviews the need for macro-prudential supervision and an independent macro-prudential supervisor, the role of resolution authorities, the operation of the shadow banking system, and the extraterritorial reach and international recognition of financial regulation.

The Arrest ConventionsInternational Enforcementof Maritime ClaimsEdited by Paul MyburghThe Arrest Conventions, signed in 1952 and 1999, play a fundamental role in the worldwide enforcement of maritime claims. Arrest of ships is one of the most distinctive features of international maritime law. It provides a powerful, efficient and effective means of enforcing maritime claims in rem, obtaining sufficient asset security and preserving property pending substantive proceedings. Ship arrest is,

however, also a draconian power that cuts across property rights and can cause considerable commercial harm to shipowning interests. This book provides thematic and comparative analysis from leading international commentators on the most significant legal and policy issues, including practical problems arising from the Arrest Convention texts, as well as the direct implementation or indirect ‘translation’ of the Arrest Conventions into domestic legal systems. It critically analyses the political and historical development of the Conventions, explores the key concepts underpinning the Arrest Convention frameworks and considers the future of ship arrest.

Paul Myburgh is Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the Centre for Maritime Law at the National University of Singapore.

Evolutionary Interpretation and International LawEdited by Georges Abi-Saab, Kenneth Keith, Gabrielle Marceau and Clément MarquetThis unique book brings together leading experts from diverse areas of public international law to offer a comprehensive overview of the variety of approaches to evolutionary interpretation in different international legal systems. It begins with the basic question of what interpretation is, offering the views of expert authors on the question, its components and

definitions. It then comments on situations that have called for evolutionary interpretation in different international legal systems, including general international law, environmental law, human rights law, EU law, investment law, international trade law and how domestic courts have, on occasions, interpreted treaties and other international legal instruments in an evolutionary manner.

This timely, authoritative compendium offers an in-depth understanding of the processes at work in evolutionary interpretation as well as a prime selection of the current main trends and future challenges.

The Future of AsianTrade Deals and IPEdited by Kung-Chung Liu& Julien ChaisseThe pulling out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) by the US marks a new era for trade deals and possibly for intellectual property (IP). The TPP is evolving to become the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for TPP (CPTPP) as the remaining 11 members try to resurrect the TPP by suspending some of its provisions, over half of which are IP-related. While the TPP excludes the two

Asian giants –India and the People’s Republic of China (PRC)– the ongoing Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) includes both of them.

The first part of this edited collection sets out to re-examine some basic principles of trade negotiation, such as choosing the right representatives to negotiate, enhancing transparency as a cure to the public’s distrust against trade talks; moreover, it analyses how CPTPP might impact on RCEP’s IP chapter and examines the possible norm setters of Asian IP, and focuses on PRC’s trade and IP strategy against the backdrop of the power games between PRC, India and the US.

The second part of the book reflects on issues related to investor-state dispute settlement and its relationship with IP, such as how to re-calibrate the balance in international investment arbitration, the judicialisation of ISD in Singapore, and whether compulsory license of IP constitutes expropriation in India, PRC and select ASEAN countries.

The third part of the book questions and strives to improve some of the proposed IP provisions, and to redefine some aspects of international IP norms, such as pre-grant patent opposition & experimental use exception, patent term extension, patent linkage & data exclusivity for the pharmaceutical sector, plant variety protection, pre-established damages for copyright infringement and the restructuring of copyright limitations in the public interest.

Kung-Chung Liu is the Lee Kong Chian Professor of Law (Practice) and the Director of the Applied Research Centre for Intellectual Assets and the Law in Asia (ARCIALA) at Singapore Management University. Julien Chaisse is Professor of Law at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Commercial Maritime LawEdited by Melis ÖzdelThe title Commercial Maritime Law is a misnomer. There is a patchwork of different commercial maritime laws around the world. However, the title is a true reflection of what many legal scholars and practitioners in the field have long desired: a common framework of commercial maritime law. The book unravels the complexities of bridging the gap between common law and civil law in commercial maritime law and discusses whether the title Commercial Maritime Law remains a misnomer despite the countless attempts

at harmonization. In this book, internationally renowned legal scholars and practitioners discuss the areas in which the common law and civil law are divided; the impact of these differences on the drafting and ratification of international conventions; the search for a common framework; and the procedural aspects of the common law and civil law divide in commercial maritime law.

Melis Özdel is a Lecturer in Law at University College London and Director of the UCL Centre for Commercial Law.
