The EFTA court in action

Meer over het boek

Prof. Dr. Carl Baudenbacher has served as a Judge of the EFTA Court since 1995 and was elected its President in 2003. He has been the Director of the University of St. Gallen’s Institute of European and International Law since 1990, where he also chairs the St. Gallen International Competition Law Forum and the International Dispute Resolution Conference. His extensive research in business and economic law is complemented by a strong interest in the interplay between law and politics in international justice, further developed during his tenure as a Visiting Professor at the University of Texas School of Law. The book draws from lectures he delivered at the University of Iceland School of Law in 2009, aiming to elucidate the workings and case law of the EFTA Court within the context of the European Economic Area Agreement. While Europe presents a unique case regarding the judicialization of law, Baudenbacher's insights and conclusions may enhance the understanding of international courts more broadly.
