• Extra informatie: - The trade conflicts that the EU has faced within the EU or WTO context demonstrate that the question of how to balance trade and other societal values in situations of uncertainty has not been solved by the regulatory model evolved by the EU in the aftermath of the BSE crisis - one which privileges processes of depoliticisation and scientification. This book addresses the current key dilemmas around science, law and the regulation of trade, both on a regime level and in the context of particular industrial sectors, e.g pharmaceuticals, climate change and nanotechnology. It will present possible future research avenues by looking at both theory and practice and learning from various disciplines (law and social sciences), legal realities (WTO, USA and EU) and actors (regulators, stakeholders, courts)" Contents : Trade versus health and the environment? / Marjolein B.A. van Asselt, Michelle Everson and Ellen Vos -- The European Union put to the test : the quest for politics / Michelle Everson, Ellen Vos, and Marjolein B.A. van Asselt -- Risk, uncertainty and precaution : lesson from the history of US environmental law / Robert V.
