Does Brexit Spell The Death Of Transnational Law?, Ralf Michaels
Does Brexit Spell The Death Of Transnational Law?, Ralf Michaels
Faculty Scholarship

Professor Reinisch’s contribution to this volume opens a wide window on the current state of the debate. His cogent analysis suggests that, at present, all three possibilities remain live ones, although some basic contours of a likely trajectory are beginning to take shape. I use his musings as a springboard to investigate two questions which follow naturally from his. That is, in view of Professor Reinisch’s response to …
