Current research
Emily’s primary research interest lies in International Economic Law and Sustainable Development. Emily has published significantly in EU and international economic law, with a consistent focus upon the interfaces between trade/environment/climate change; Trade, Labour and Human Rights and Trade, Environment and Human Rights (Trade and Sustainability).
In recent years Emily has spoken in Sydney, Bochum, Johannesburg, Maynooth, Granada, Bristol, Washington, Goettingen, Lund and London, and given expert (oral) evidence to the House of Lords, European Union Select Committee, Internal Market Sub-Committee and to the House of Commons International Trade Select Committee (oral and written).
Her monograph, Balancing Human Rights, Environmental Protection and International Trade: Lessons from the European Union was originally published by Hart in January 2015, and in paperback in January 2017. Reviews and responses to this work include:
“The book is packed full of carefully considered and analysed material and we will all learn something interesting from it…This is a rich volume… we should be grateful for some detailed, rich discussions of three rather difficult and extensive legal areas”. Maria Lee, Review of European Community and International Environmental Law.,
“It’s a great piece of work-a wonderful balance between being very informative, but also making a deeper conceptual point taking the debate in all sorts of new directions.” Fiona Smith, Professor of International Economic Law, Leeds
“[This] book provides an insightful analysis on the interaction and complex reconciliation of economic and non-economic interests.” – Ioanna Hadjiyianni, Journal of Environmental Law
“...this book offers something to all four readerships which it should attract: EU lawyers, environmental lawyers, human rights lawyers, and trade lawyers.” – Chris Hilson, Yearbook of European Law
“...the book combines environmental concerns with human rights concerns and therefore does justice to the concept of sustainable development…” – Rike Kramer, Journal of International Economic Law
It has also been positively reviewed in: Common Market Law Review; International Trade and Business Law Review, Revue Trimestrielle de droit Europeen , Indian Journal of International Law.
Emily’s current work is centred upon a long term project, Governance and Regulation in a Globalised Context. This project examines a number of case studies concerning legal and regulatory responses to contemporary global challenges, specifically focussed around trade and sustainability, and reflects her interest in regulatory and judicial balancing between economic and non-economic interests (such as social and environmental) including both the associated cost-benefit analysis and questions relating to risk assessment, analysis and management. This work includes a number of case studies relating to contemporary global challenges.
