Beschreibung
“This book brilliantly shows how the harm done to animals is not a mere ‘externality’ to the working of markets, but forms part of the legal regimes on trade, competition, consumer protection, procurement, and finances. Making concern for animal flourishing an objective of those legal regimes is a key contribution to the paradigm shift towards a sustainable economic law.”
–Anne Peters, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law Heidelberg, Germany
“Animals in EU Economic Law looks beyond standard animal law paradigms to offer a pathbreaking exploration of how markets could be reconceived and restructured to protect the interests and dignity of animals. This novel and timely contribution should be read by all scholars and practitioners concerned with the well-being of nonhuman animals.”
–Douglas Kysar, Joseph M. Field '55 Professor of Law, Faculty Director, Yale Law School, USA
This volume explores the intersection of animal protection and economic law within the European Union, offering a bold new framework for safeguarding sentient beings. Despite decades of EU legislation and constitutional recognition of animal sentience, industrial farming, wildlife trade, and animal-based research continue to thrive under economic pressures. Through contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, the book reveals how economic law—spanning corporate, trade, competition, procurement, and consumer law—can be reimagined to prioritize animal welfare.
