This book deals with an intriguing aspect of EU external relations, namely the special legal and political relationship between Switzerland and the EU, seen against the background of the country’s refusal to join the European Economic Area.

What makes the relationship between Switzerland and the EU so challenging? For both parties, mutual relations are of crucial importance, not least economically. As a result of the Swiss voters’ rejection of the European Economic Area 30 years ago, there is at present a large number of agreements that provide for Switzerland's partial participation in the EU's internal market as well as other matters. At the same time, there has now for more than a decade been an increasing degree of institutional and legal uncertainty. The present volume offers an inventory of different sides of this special relationship, which is interesting also in a comparative context.

Her publications focus in particular on EU non-discrimination law and EU-Swiss legal relations, seen in the broader context of EU association law.
