Lecture Series – The European 成人头条on as global international actor: strategic autonomy in a changing international context

The 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.

Abstract

This 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 成人头条on鈥檚 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 成人头条on 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 成人头条on 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.

Discussant: Dr. Thomas Verellen, Utrecht 成人头条versity. is an assistant professor in EU law at Utrecht 成人头条versity, focusing on how geopolitical changes affect EU trade policy governance.
