Présentation de l'éditeur

This book focuses on a review of how sixty years of case-law and regulatory activity transformed the European continent and the world. It provides a critical analysis of the key features of EU integration and how this integration is perceived (internally and externally). In this context, this book also explores the EU's interactions with a number of other countries and organisations with the objective of assessing the EU's role in global governance.

Julien Chaisse is Professor of Law at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and Advisory Board Member of the Asian Academy of International Law (AAIL).
