Synopsis
Búrca (European Union law, European University Institute, Italy) and Scott (European law, U. of Cambridge, UK) present 12 essays dedicated to examining the connections and disconnections of the legal institutions of the European Union (EU) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), with a particular emphasis on the impact the WTO has on EU law. Largely critical of the policy constraints the WTO rules impose upon the European polity, the articles look at such issues as the European Court of Justice's acceptance of a WTO "judiciary," the possibilities for addressing the question of the WTO's legitimacy, debates over whether regional economic bodies should conform to WTO objectives, and the impact of the WTO on international regulations.
