This book explores questions of transnational private legal theory in the context of the external dimension of EU private law. The interaction between existing theories of transnational ordering and the external reach of European Regulatory Private Law is articulated through the examination of what are found to be the three major proxies of transnational private ordering: private standards, contracts and codes.
Chapters survey the absence of jurisdictional restrictions in the transnational space and how the EU is arguably shaping transnational private governance to pursue regulatory aims. These regulatory endeavours span not only institutional structures and substantive rules but also the values that inform them. Leading contributors provide insights into a broad range of transnational governance considerations, from the standardization of the internet and contracts in energy exchanges to private food safety standards.
The Role of the EU in Transnational Legal Ordering will be of interest to students and scholars working in the areas of EU law, regulatory law, international law, transnational governance, and private law. EU law practitioners and policy-makers will also find the analysis of key elements of EU regulation beneficial.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The book fills an important gap between the literature on EU external relations and the literature on transitional (private) law as well as global administrative law. The book is certainly a very recommended read: for public and private law researchers with an interest in standardization on EU and global level; for scholars that work in the blurring borderline of public law and private regulation; and to practitioners working in the respective fields covered in the book chapters who may find it is of value to them.' -- Sabrina Roettger-Wirtz, Review of European Administrative Law 'This fascinating book breaks important new ground in exploring the private mechanisms of transnational legal ordering through contracts, standards, and codes. It shows the major role played by the European Union, even given the serious internal challenges the EU faces.'
--Gregory Shaffer, Georgetown University Law Center, US 'The private dimension of the EU's external governance is a topic that is important yet under-explored. This book brings a rich set of diverse contributions under a unified conceptual framework, advancing a conversation that anyone interested in global governance, transnational legal order, or the EU's global role will find highly valuable.'
