Book Description
Regulations and enforcement decisions that at first appear to have only a domestic impact can have substantial spillover effects on other nations’ economies. Experience has shown time and again that there is no reason to expect that these effects are confined to jurisdictions at the same level of development. Governments on both sides of the Atlantic recognize this, yet their responses in many policy areas are not aligned — sometimes deliberately so. This creates a complex regulatory landscape that appears to be the product of both cooperation and competition, and which can only be fully understood by looking through a number of disciplinary lenses.Drawing on some of the best legal, economic and political science expertise from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as on the knowledge of officials and private practitioners with experience in both industrialized and developing countries, this timely book assesses the systemic, global implications of transatlantic regulatory cooperation and competition. Insights from thematic papers are integrated with those from sector-specific analyses, and a rich set of implications for policymakers, business and civil society is offered.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Evenett and Stern and their contributors are to be commended for the level-headed approach they have taken to the daunting topic of enhancing trans-Atlantic economic cooperation. Their take on lessons from the past provide a solid framework for considering prospects and promise for the future. –Susan C Schwab, Former US Trade Representative, Professor, University of Maryland, Strategic Advisor, Mayer Brown LLP
The trade between Europe and the United States accounts for up to 36% of total world trade. This book is a treasure trove of facts, reasoning and insight into the systemic implications of trans-Atlantic cooperation and conflict in the relations between these two major trading blocs. It is a must read for serious students of the world trade system and its rapid evolution in the new century. –Richard Baldwin, Professor of International Economics, Graduate Institute, Geneva
