The EU, the Right to Food and Developing Countries 330 8 $aIn recent years the European Union has developed a comprehensive strategy to conclude free trade agreements which includes not only prominent trade partners such as Canada, the United States and Japan but also numerous developing countries. This book looks at the existing WTO law and at the new EU free trade agreements with the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa through the lens of the human right to adequate food. It shows how the clauses on the import and export of food included in recent free trade agreements limit the capacity of these countries to implement food security policies and to respect their human rights obligations. This outcome appears to be at odds with international human rights law and dismissive of existing human rights references in EU-founding treaties as well as in treaties between the EU and developing states. Yet, the book argues against the conception in human rights literature that there is an inflexible agenda encoded in world trade law which is fundamentally conflictual with non-economic interests. The book puts forward the idea that the European Union is perfectly placed to develop a narrative of globalisation considering other areas of public international law when negotiating trade agreements and argues that the EU does have the competences and influence to uphold a role of international leadership in designing a sustainable global trading system. Will the EU be ambitious enough? A timely contribution to the growing academic literature on the relation between world trade law and international human rights law, this book imagines a central role for the EU in reconciling these two areas of international law 410 0$aStudies in international trade and investment law. 517 3 $aEuropean Union, world trade law, and the right to food 606 $aEconomic assistance, European$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFood supply$xLaw and legislation$zDeveloping countries 606 $aForeign trade regulation$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aFree trade$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aRight to food$zDeveloping countries 606 $aWorld Trade Organization$zEuropean Union countries 606 $2International economic & trade law 607 $aDeveloping countries$xForeign economic relations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xCommercial policy 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign economic relations$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aEconomic assistance, European 615 0$aFood supply$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aForeign trade regulation 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aRight to food 615 0$aWorld Trade Organization 676 $a382/.456640094 700 $aGruni$b Giovanni$01481413 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796921503321 996 $aThe EU, world trade law, and the right to food$93698335 997 $aUNINA
