SUMMARY:Protecting EU Interests: Unilateral Turn in EU Trade and Investment Policy
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series - The European Union as global international actor: strategic autonomy in a changing international context\n\nThe Department of Law of the FDEF, with the support of the FNR and the Erasmus + Programme of the European Commission, and in collaboration with the Luxembourg Centre for European Law (LCEL), is organising this lecture.\n\nAbstract\n\nThis lecture will trace the emergence of the concept of (open) strategic autonomy and its development over time. It will assess the operation of that concept and how it offers a framework through which to understand and assess the European Union’s resort to more unilateral (or autonomous) instruments. Notably, in reaction to challenges posed by shifting international trade and investment patterns, more complex supply chains, and the green and digital transitions of its economy, the European Union has developed new ways of extending trade defence instruments beyond their conventional confines and purposes. Furthermore, in the context of geoeconomic tensions and a fractured rules-based global order, the European Union is relying ever more on autonomous instruments to achieve its policy aims and actively enforce existing rules. In recent years, it has adopted a wave of autonomous instruments that both respond to and pre-empt the challenges of the new international trade and investment reality.\n\nDiscussant: Dr. Thomas Verellen, Utrecht University. Thomas Verellen is an assistant professor in EU law at Utrecht University, focusing on how geopolitical changes affect EU trade policy governance.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nIsabelle Van Damme is a Professor of International Economic Law at the World Trade Institute and the University of Bern (Switzerland).\n\nLanguage\n\nEnglish.\n\nThis is a free event. Registration is mandatory.\n\nOpening 11h45. A lunch will be served on site.\n\nIn collaboration with\n\nSupported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund, RESCOM/2024/LE/18832235 and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, ERASMUS-JMO-2024-HEI-TCH-RSCH\n\nLocation: https://www.uni.lu/en/about/campuses/weicker-building/\nRead more: https://www.uni.lu/fdef-en/events/protecting-eu-interests-unilateral-turn-in-eu-trade-and-investment-policy/
