...an indispensable background for any thorough study of an area of EU law that has emerged over 50 years of Treaty-based and judicial development. It exemplifies the cross-pillar legal complexities by providing many concrete examples based on recent case law. It is a book that can be highly recommended to EU law specialists, as well as to lawyers and academics who want to contribute to the ongoing debate about the constitutional issues of EU foreign relations.

This book reappraises the constitutional fundamentals of EU foreign relations law. The essays in the book examine and reassess the basic principles of EU foreign relations law that have emerged over 50 years of incremental Treaty-based and judicial development and explore the particular character of the EU's "external constitution". They have been written against a background of change and debate: the deliberation over the character of the appropriate constitutional framework which has surrounded the drafting of the Constitutional and Reform Treaties, the increasingly cross-pillar nature of much EU external action, and renewed interest in the accountability of foreign relations policy and practice to democratic and judicial review within and without the EU. This collection will be of interest not only to EU foreign relations law specialists but also to those concerned with broader constitutional issues within EU law. In exploring the legal context in which the EU seeks to develop an international identity, and to structure and execute policies at the international level, the collection will also interest those working in international relations.

Emerging trends and developments in European law. This series is dedicated to publishing edited collections on a wide range of topics within European law, focussing particularly on analyses of emerging trends and new developments which are not covered in the standard textbooks. The essays are carefully grouped around selected themes which, while frequently at the cutting edge of scholarship, are nonetheless intended to be of widespread interest to EU scholars and practitioners. The books have a variety of origins; some arise from workshops and conferences, while others spring from longer term research initiatives. In all cases the essays selected for publication have not been published elsewhere, and all are subject to peer review and editing.
