Role of the EU in Transnational Legal Ordering

Edited by Marta Cantero Gamito, Assistant Professor of Law, CUNEF (Madrid), Spain and part-time Associate Professor in IT Law, University of Tartu, Estonia and Hans-W. Micklitz, Professor for Economic Law, the European University Institute and Finland Distinguished Professor, University of Helsinki, Finland

'The book fills an important gap between the literature on EU external relations and the literature on transitional (private) law as well as global administrative law. The book is certainly a very recommended read: for public and private law researchers with an interest in standardization on EU and global level; for scholars that work in the blurring borderline of public law and private regulation; and to practitioners working in the respective fields covered in the book chapters who may find it is of value to them.'
