Ebook: The European Union and South Korea: The Legal Framework for Strengthening Trade, Economic and Political Relations

Offers insights into the state of EU-Korea relations and considers potential lessons for other bilateral and regional initiatives

In this book, European and Korean experts in international law each examine a particular aspect of the legal framework for EU-Korea relations, analysing the scope and substance of the relevant legal rules, as well as the opportunities and challenges for future cooperation. The contributions cover a wide range of policy areas, including trade, competition, and investment, as well as cooperation in non-economic areas, such as environmental protection and security policy, and aim to offer insights not only into the state of EU-Korea relations, but also potential lessons for other bilateral and regional initiatives.
