- This 251-page book explores REACH, the EU’s flagship chemicals Regulation, and the million words of post-legislative guidance produced by the European Chemicals Agency. This close, careful reading of all of the guidance provides a platform for the book to advance a series of arguments that soft law (norms which have significant practical effects but which are usually said not to be binding) can be just as differentiated, plural, hierarchical, persuasive and complex as hard law. This detailed mapping of the operationalization of REACH, via the legislation and its guidance, highlights complex insights within, and challenges to, understandings of EU governance.
