Globalisation & Law Network seminar with Gesa Kübek

The monograph sets out the in-depth legal analysis of mixity - the joint negotiation, conclusion, and ratification of agreements by the EU and its Member States - from the perspectives of international, EU, and national law. Gesa first briefly addressed the evolution of mixity, highlighting the different types of mixed agreements and the peculiarities of the mixed procedure. Then, she demonstrated why the practice of mixity no longer merely aims to avoid the lack of clarity regarding the division of trade and investment competences between the EU and the Member States. Rather, mixity is currently used as a substantive design choice. Finally, Gesa offered four propositions on moving beyond mixity. As the threat towards global isolationism and protectionism is becoming more acute, it is crucial to carefully decide by whom, with whom and in what way external power should be exercised.
