Lavranos: The ECJ's Relationship with Other International Courts and Tribunals

Nikos Lavranos (European Univ. Institute) has posted The ECJ's Relationship with Other International Courts and Tribunals (in Europe-The New Legal Realism, Essays in Honour of Hjalte Rasmussen, Karsten Hagel-Sorensen, Ulrich Haltern, Henning Koch, & Joseph Weiler eds., Djof Publishing, 2010, pp. 393-411). Here's the abstract:
This contribution analyzes the ECJ's relationship with other international courts and tribunals, focusing on international trade law, European Human Rights, international environmental law and international investment law. The conclusion is that despite the increasing interaction between the ECJ and other international courts and tribunals, the ECJ is reluctant to give up its supreme role of final interpreter of European law and international law aspects related to it.
