About this lecture

The EU is flexing. It has updated its trade defence instruments and seems prepared to use them more routinely.

In adopting the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive it aims better to police multinational corporations’ activities extraterritorially. Yet could and should it work? What are the pitfalls?
