L\u2019attenzione \u00e8 rivolta, in particolare, al modo in cui gli impegni in materia ambientale sono stati progressivamente integrati negli accordi preferenziali di nuova generazione dell\u2019Unione, con specifico riguardo a quelli volti a sostenere il passaggio a un\u2019economia circolare. Il lavoro esamina inoltre il potenziale di nuovi strumenti, come le <em>Clean Trade and Investment Partnerships<\/em>, intesi quali meccanismi pi\u00f9 pragmatici e flessibili. Si valuta, infine, in che misura tali iniziative possano effettivamente rafforzare la posizione dell\u2019Unione quale leader globale in materia di sostenibilit\u00e0, riuscendo al contempo a bilanciare gli obiettivi ambientali con le esigenze strategiche ed economiche che caratterizzano la sua azione esterna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abstract (ENG)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article aims to assess whether, and to what extent, the European Union is consolidating its position as a global leader in the transition towards a circular economy through the instruments of its common commercial policy. Particular attention is devoted to the progressive inclusion of environmental commitments within the Union\u2019s new generation free trade agreements, with a specific focus on those provisions designed to promote the shift towards a circular economic model. The analysis also examines the potential of new instruments, such as Clean Trade and Investment Partnerships, conceived as pragmatic and flexible mechanisms. Ultimately, the article evaluates the extent to which such initiatives may enhance the Union\u2019s role as a global leader in sustainability, while simultaneously reconciling environmental ambitions with the strategic and economic objectives underpinning its external action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\">*<\/a> Il presente articolo rientra nella raccolta degli atti del Workshop \u201cThe European Union as a World Leader in the Transition to Sustainability\u201d, tenutosi il 15 luglio 2025 presso l\u2019Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Udine (Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wppdfemb-frame-container-1\" style=\"-webkit-overflow-scrolling:auto;\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"pdfembed-iframe nonfullscreen wppdf-emb-iframe-1\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/?pdfemb-data=eyJwZGZJRCI6MTA4Njk0LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LmFpc2R1ZS5ldVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMTFcL1Bvc3QtTWlyaWFtLVNjaGV0dGluaS1VZGluZS5wZGYiLCJ0aXRsZSI6IlBvc3QtTWlyaWFtLVNjaGV0dGluaS1VZGluZSIsImluZGV4IjoxLCJ3bV90ZXh0IjoiIn0\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Post-Miriam-Schettini-Udine\"\t\t\t\tdata-pdf-id=\"108694\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-pdf-index=\"1\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"border:none;width:100%;max-width:100%;height:100vh;\"\n\t\t\t\tscrolling=\"yes\">\n\t\t\t<\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Post-Miriam-Schettini-Udine.pdf\">DOWNLOAD IN FORMATO PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract (ITA) Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare se, e in quale misura, l\u2019Unione europea stia assumendo un ruolo di leadership globale nella transizione verso un modello di economia circolare attraverso gli strumenti della propria politica commerciale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-post-articoli"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108693"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108697,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108693\/revisions\/108697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
