On October 15, ECCK organized a webinar with Prof. Anu Bradford on the so-called ‘Brussels Effect’, the European Union’s global leading role through its unilateral ability to regulate.

During the webinar Prof. Bradford detailed the Brussels Effect, explained why Washington or Beijing do not possess the same power and explained why certain skepticism about the EU’s power does not hold true. Prof. Bradford, a Henry L. Moses Professor of Law and International Organization at Columbia Law School, is a leading scholar on the EU’s regulatory power and a sought-after commentator on the European Union and Brexit. Prof. Bradford coined the term the Brussels Effect to describe the European Union’s outsize influence on global markets and wrote the book “The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World”.
