EU Trade Policy in the 21st Century
Special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy
Guest editors: Patrick Leblond and Crina Viju-Miljusevic
The politicization of EU trade policy is a recent phenomenon that has received little academic attention until now, which is why it is a key focus of this special collection of articles on the EU’s trade policy in the 21st century. It is not sufficient to analyse the contested nature of EU trade politics in particular trade agreement negotiations; the politicization process and its impact on EU trade policy require more systematic and deeper analysis across all EU trade negotiations. As such, it is necessary to examine the factors that give rise to politicized trade negotiations in some cases but not others. Additionally, it is important to analyze the EU policy changes in response to the perceived politicization.
