Episode #3: In this episode, hear about the global reach of EU regulatory powers. Prof. Anu Bradford explains the concept of the far-reaching 'Brussels effect' that is created by global companies applying  EU rules not only in Europe, but around the globe; how businesses 'gravitate' towards EU regulatory standards that tend to be the most stringent in the world.

Tune in and learn:

• How the 'Brussels effect' applies in different regulatory areas, and how prominent it is in the digital sector, in particular

• Whether recently opened antitrust cases against digital giants in the US  imply potential 'Washington effect' aspirations 

• Whether an extensive regulatory reach is a desirable phenomenon

• Whether post-BREXIT, the UK will avoid the 'Brussels effect' or whether, indeed, it will now be a mere rule-taker
