This book examines the need for greater legal coherence within international trade negotiations between the European Union (EU) and external trade relations. An introspective analysis of EU trade law and policy is presented that highlights the complex issue of EU unity.

“Rafael Leal-Arcas brings together an extraordinary set of authors and takes up a critical set of questions in International Trade and Sustainability – going to the heart of the future of the trading system and highlighting the challenge of bringing the world community together to address climate change and meet the demands of the sustainability imperative that defines the 21st century. Must reading for policymakers, business leaders, NGO advocates, community organizers, academics, and students – all of whom will have an important role to play in building the future Leal-Arcas and his colleagues imagine.” (Dan Esty is the Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, Yale University, and author of Greening the GATT)
“No one has thought more and taught us more about the complex relationship between trade and sustainability than Rafael Leal-Arcas. In this latest book (in collaboration with a number of his like-minded colleagues), he draws even more on his enormous fund of knowledge on this important topic and delves even more deeply. He offers a comprehensive examination of a number of cutting-edge topics on the trade and sustainability relationship that are either on the current global agenda or ought to be. This includes, importantly, the proposed carbon border adjustment mechanism of the European Union and its many ramifications; but, equally, it includes issues that are too often overlooked, such as the trade and sustainable development nexus in the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean Community. I could not recommend this book more highly.” (James Bacchus is the Distinguished University Professor of Global Affairs and Director of the Center for Global Economic and Environmental Opportunity at the University of Central Florida. Founding judge and twice the Chairman – the chief judge – of the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization)
