The Brussels Effect: The Rise of a Regulatory Superstate in Europe with Anu Bradford

Anu Bradford, assistant professor at the University of Chicago, discusses "the Brussels Effect," which highlights an underestimated aspect of European power the discussion on globalization and power politics overlooks: Europe's unilateral power to regulate global commerce.

It is common today to hear Europe described today as the power of the past whose military, economic, and political powers are declining. Bradford, however, argues that Europe is successfully exporting its legal institutions and standards and examines why the markets, other states, and international institutions can do little to constrain Europe's global regulatory agenda.

This lecture is part of the Chicago's Best Ideas series.
