Between sluggish growth; political turmoil following a decade of austerity politics; Brexit; and the rise of Asian influence, the EU is seen as a declining power on the world stage.Columbia Law professor Anu Bradford argues the opposite in her important new book The Brussels Effect: the EU remains an influential superpower that shapes the world in its image. By promulgating regulations that shape the international business environment, elevating standards worldwide, and leading to a notable Europeanization of many important aspects of global commerce, the EU has managed to shape policy in areas such as data privacy, consumer health and safety, environmental protection, antitrust, and online hate speech. And in contrast to how superpowers wield their global influence, the Brussels Effect - a phrase first coined by Bradford in 2012- absolves the EU from playing a direct role in imposing standards, as market forces alone are often sufficient as multinational companies voluntarily extend the EU rule to govern their global operations. The Brussels Effect shows how the EU has acquired such power, why multinational companies use EU standards as global standards, and why the EU''s role as the world''s regulator is likely to outlive its gradual economic decline, extending the EU''s influence long into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present work is written in a very accessible way, despite the abstract and very technical seeming subject areas. * Bastian Matteo Scianna, Sehepunkte *\u003cbr\u003eBradford makes her case with verve, and with a great eye for detail. * Jan Klabbers, European Journal of International Law *\u003cbr\u003eListed as one of the Best Books of 2020 by Foreign Affairs\u003cbr\u003eThe author of this book, a scholar of extraordinary authority, overturns existing stereotypes and demonstrates how the European Union has become the only authority capable of dictating the rules that guide the behavior of world economic life. In the crisis of international cooperation, Brussels builds the rules that are progressively adopted by global markets. A Europe that exercises its authority not with muscles but with a refined blend of brains and experience. * Romano Prodi, formerly President of the European Commission and Prime Minister of Italy *\u003cbr\u003eThis may well be the single most important book on Europe's influence to appear in a decade. * Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford, a professor at Columbia University, originally coined the term \"Brussels effect\" and has been studying it for several years. Her impressive book assembles evidence going back decades, tracing its development from the \"Reach\" chemicals regulation, developed in the early 2000s, to the digital age. ... What is incontrovertible is that the Brussels effect has dominated global economic regulation to an under-appreciated extent. This book will be the definitive reference guide for those wishing to understand. * Alan Beattie, Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eDeveloping her earlier work and, in turn, Vogel's ground-breaking study of the \"California Effect\", Bradford argues brilliantly—without ignoring the external and internal challenges faced by the EU—the extent to which the \"Brussels Effect\" (i.e. the EU's unilateral power to regulate global markets) has operated in many foreign jurisdictions, including the US and China ... Bradford's tour de force is to combine a dense number of facts and information with a vivid analysis. * Julien Miéral, European Law Review *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford's The Brussels Effect is essential reading for anyone interested in Europe's place in the world. Decried as a powerless entity, vainly committed to multilateralism, Bradford shows how the EU has,in fact, turned unilateral regulatory measures into a source of global economic clout. A timely and powerful antidote to prevailing euro-pessimism. * Adam Tooze, author of Crashed and Director of the European Institute, Columbia University *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is both timely and important. I have frequently witnessed the Brussels Effect in many areas, including data privacy, trade, the digital economy and consumer and food safety, where the EU increasingly sets global standards.

This book is of great relevance, not just for an academic audience but also for businesses and policy makers around the world. This book clearly explains the nature of the EU's often under-appreciated 'quiet influence. * Anthony Gardner, former US Ambassador to the European Union *\u003cbr\u003eFinally!

This book, like her earlier work, will be widely read and highly influential in policy as well as scholarly debates. * Gráinne de Búrca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law, New York University *\u003cbr\u003eThe Brussels Effectis an important book that challenges us to rethink the impact of the EU on the global economy. Bradford has made a creative and original contribution to the literature on business regulation.

Lee Chair Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Business Ethics, University of California Berkley *\u003cbr\u003eInThe Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford offers a perceptive analysis of the influence the EU can and must have well beyond its borders.

It is not only an accomplished piece of research which should be of immense value to policymakers, but an agenda setting piece for critical border, security, and citizenship studies. * Ben Rosher, E-International Relations *\u003cbr\u003eVaughan-Williams poses the important question, why has the recent frenzy of border fortification—especially but not only in the EU—intensified rather than reduced popular anxieties about borders and migrants? To answer it, Vaughan-Williams listens closely to the people churned by such anxieties. This essential, original, and extraordinarily well-researched contribution to border and migration studies arrives at conclusions that should stop both policy makers and critical theorists in their tracks. * Wendy Brown, Class of 1936 First Professor of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, and author of Walled States, Waning Sovereignty *\u003cbr\u003eIn foregrounding the vernacular, Nick Vaughan-Williams makes a powerful and highly significant interference in contemporary understandings of the politics of security, borders, and migration. Vernacular Border Security takes the extensive literature on the importance of language for securitization and desecuritization in a new direction by foregrounding conversations rather than speech acts, claims, or discourses. In doing so, Vaughan-Williams has given us a rich resource for critically engaging contemporary framings of security, borders, and migration through a democratic analytics that values the reflective and critical engagement of ordinary people in the politics of insecurity. * Jef Huysmans, Professor of International Politics, Queen Mary University of London *\u003cbr\u003eVernacular Border Security is a must-read for all political geographers concerned with questions of borderings, wallings, and the contemporary political imaginations of migrations in Europe. Beautifully written and conceptually innovative, this book brilliantly connects the grand narratives of border security promoted by institutions at the most diverse scales with a set of vernacular perspectives on the experience of border security in specific European settings. The rich and original empirical material matched by the sophisticated theoretical analysis proposed here by Nick Vaughan-Williams makes this book a path-breaking intervention in the fields of border and migration studies. * Claudio Minca, Professor, Department of History and Cultures, University of Bologna *\u003cbr\u003eComing from cultural studies and gender studies, I found Nick Vaughan-Williams' vernacular approach to be an illustrative perspective on security. Besides deconstructing the 'migration crisis' narrative, Vaughan-Williams explains theories of populism and ontological (in)security in a reader-friendly manner. I particularly enjoyed the author's take on affect and processes of gendering and racializing the figure of 'the migrant'. Reading this eloquent and important book gave me tools to analyze critically the perpetual debate about migration, borders, and securitization. * Tuija Saresma, Senior Researcher, University of Jyväskylä *\u003cbr\u003eEuropean governments adopted inhuman, unlawful, and ineffective border security measures in the name of citizens allegedly frightened by migrants. Yet the empirical evidence offered by Nick Vaughan-Williams suggests that anti-migrant narratives originated at the top rather than at the bottom of societal ladders, aggravating anxieties among European citizens. The book points to counter-narratives embracing cultures of hospitality, rebuffing fantasies of walls and wired borders. These findings are not likely to deter populist politicians, but they should offer food for thought to moderate ones and to mass-media gurus eager to talk on behalf of 'ordinary people' without engaging in genuine conversation with them. I strongly recommend this book to all concerned citizens. * Jan Zielonka, Professor of Politics at the University of Oxford and the University of Venice, Ca Foscari *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Towards a Vernacular Study of Border Security 2: Exceptional Times, Emergency Borders: (De)Constructing Europe's 'Migration Crisis' 3: Populist and 'Post-Truth' Border Politics: The Securitization of Public Opinion on Migration 4: Dangerous Aliens, Crisis Constellations, and Information Gaps: Vernacular Narratives of Migration 5: Border Anxieties: Vernacular Narratives of Ontological (In)Security 6: Desecuritizing Strangeness: Vernacular Counter-Narratives of Border Security Appendix 1: Moderators' Discussion Guide Appendix 2: List of Focus Groups","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732827025751,"sku":"9780198882695","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198882695.jpg?v=1719998572"},{"product_id":"the-third-united-nations-how-a-knowledge-ecology-helps-the-un-think-9780198882688","title":"The Third United Nations How a Knowledge Ecology","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople often refer to the 'United Nations' but without specifying which specific parts are responsible for success or failure.

We face a number of international challenges - climate change, pandemics, cyber security, and migration - which spill over national boundaries.

Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, this book is accessible to a wide audience and is written for anyone who wants to understand how global rules shape and transform international politics.

Constructing a theory of institutional strategy, this book argues that the regional security institutions in Southeast Asia, ASEAN and ASEAN-led institutions have devised their own institutional strategies vis-à-vis the South China Sea and navigated the great-power politics since the 1990s. ASEAN proliferated new security institutions in the 1990s and 2000s that assumed a different functionality, a different geopolitical scope, and thus a different institutional strategy. In so doing, ASEAN formed a “strategic institutional web” that nurtured a quasi-division of labor among the institutions to maintain relative stability in the South China Sea. Unlike the conventional analysis on ASEAN, this study disaggregates “ASEAN” as a collective regional actor into specific individual institutions—ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, ASEAN Summit, ASEAN-China dialogues, ASEAN Regional Forum, East Asia Summit, and ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting and ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting-Plus—and explains how each of these institutions has devised and\/or shifted its institutional strategy to curb great powers’ ambition in dominating the South China Sea while navigating great power competition.
