The university textbook "EU Foreign Trade Policy in Relation to Developing and Emerging Regions" is a continuation of the university textbook "EU Foreign Trade Policy in the Context of Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Changes" published in 2024 by a team of authors: Z. Kittová, K. Drieniková, H. Juhás and Ľ. Zubaľová by the College of European and Regional Studies in České Budějovice.
It has five main chapters. First, it focuses on the EU's foreign trade policy in relation to countries belonging to three regions, namely 1. Latin America, 2. the Middle East and North Africa, forming the southern branch of the European Neighbourhood Policy, and 3. the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, known by the acronym ASEAN. It then turns its attention to a new EU trade policy instrument, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. This instrument aims to prevent the relocation of greenhouse gas-intensive production from the EU to countries with less stringent environmental standards. The new mechanism poses the greatest challenge to developing and emerging countries. Finally, the university textbook introduces the system of trade preferences that the EU offers to developing and emerging countries.
