At a critical time for the identity and policy direction of the EU,
this Handbook examines the dynamics behind the development of the
Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Common Security
and Defence Policy (CSDP). The Handbook includes chapters from
renowned scholars that examine the efficacy and visibility of the
EU as a diplomatic, military and civilian actor in a turbulent
world. The authors? original contributions address the impact that
existing frameworks, structures and procedures have on the
effectiveness of the EU as an international actor and consider the
legal challenges to the EU's integrated approach to external
action. The Research Handbook on the EU?s Common Foreign and
Security Policy brings together scholars from different areas of
law (EU and international law) and from the political science
field. The interdisciplinary approach makes it essential reading
for scholars of law, political science and international relations.
Policymakers and all those with an interest in the workings of the
EU?s legal services will also find this an insightful resource.

While the internal market has been at the heart of the European
project from the very beginning, it has rarely been the subject of
sustained and comprehensive scholarly examination in its entirety.
In the face of profound legal, political and policy pressures, this
timely Research Handbook reflects on the cutting-edge issues,
horizontal themes and the big questions which illuminate the shape
of the internal market. It places the law and policy of the
internal market within the context of the financial crisis and the
existential questions this has raised for future European
integration. In a departure from existing literature in the field,
expert contributors approach the four freedoms as a functional
whole and identify horizontal and overarching themes that have
emerged over the years. The Research Handbook on the Law of the
EU's Internal Market addresses six overarching themes: the reach of
the internal market, the relationship between economic and
non-economic interests, the internal market as an economic union,
uniformity versus diversity, the governance and politics of the
internal market, and the internal market in the world. This
perceptive Research Handbook will be fascinating reading for
academics and students in EU law and European studies. It will also
be an invaluable resource for practitioners, policy makers, and
anyone interested in the future of the internal market in
particular and European integration in general. Contributors

`Like early mariners, politicians and officials trying to navigate
European foreign policy find themselves in an environment of
unpredictable hazards - hidden institutional shoals, and legal
reefs that can tear the bottom out of a policy. This insightful
collection of contrasted studies shines the twin beams of political
science and legal analysis into these opaque depths. Practitioners
as well as scholars will benefit from the illumination.' - Nick
Witney, European Council on Foreign Relations and Former Chief
Executive of the European Defence Agency, UK `This collection on EU
foreign policy is an attractive one for several reasons: it
contains a very nice set of essays on a topic which has loomed
large on the European Union agenda for some years, namely the
international role of the EU. The chapters are written by a range
of interesting and eminent scholars in the field. Most importantly
in terms of its distinctive contribution, the book brings together
perspectives from law and from political science. This is done in
part by including chapters by authors from different disciplines
but also by choosing cross-pillar themes and topics such as the
European Neighbourhood Policy, EU policy on Kosovo, security and
defence policy, as well as more general cross-cutting themes like
the idea of "coherence", the position of the EU within
international organizations, and the approach of the EU to the
international legal order. Each of the individual chapters is well
worth reading, and the book as a whole is a useful and interesting
contribution to the existing literature.' - Grainne de Burca,
Harvard Law School, US Written by leading experts, this book
focuses on central issues of the foreign policy of the European
Union. The issues explored include: * how the EU's judges
understand its relationship with the international order; * the
coherence of the Union's external action; * the EU's approach to
its neighbours; * the Common Security and Defence Policy; and, *
the EU's participation in international organisations. By
addressing each topic from a legal, political science and
international relations standpoint, this relevant book highlights
the different perspectives that these disciplines bring to the
central issues of the EU's foreign affairs, and starts a
conversation between the respective communities. Scholars and
students in European and international law, politics, and
international relations will find this book insightful. It will
also prove timely for policy-makers in the EU and international
organisations, as well as think tanks and non-governmental
organisations specialising in European affairs.
This new edition provides a definitive, comprehensive and
systematic analysis of the law governing the EU's action in the
world. Updated to take into account the Lisbon Treaty and recent
case law, the book covers all constitutional aspects of the EU's
international action and the procedures for treaty-making. It
analyses the relationship between the EU and its Members with
emphasis on mixed agreements, and the status of international law
in the EU legal order. It explores the links between the EU and
international organisations (such as the WTO) and examines the EU's
external economic and political relations and its various links
with third countries, including its neighbours. It analyses,
amongst others, the Common Commercial Policy, sanctions, the Common
Foreign and Security Policy, and the Common Security and Defence
Policy. This new edition is the most up-to-date work of its kind,
examining both the law and practice in a wide range of external
policies, placing the law in its political and economic context and
exploring the links between the EU's external and internal actions.
This collection of essays provides a comprehensive assessment of
the legal and policy approaches to maritime counter-piracy adopted
by the EU and other international actors over the last few years.
As the financial cost of Somali piracy for the maritime industry
and the world economy as a whole was estimated to have reached $18
billion by 2010, the phenomenon of piracy at sea has steadily grown
in significance and has recently attracted the attention of
international policy makers. Moreover, piracy is intrinsically
linked to state failure and other pathologies bred by it, such as
organised crime and terrorism. This book adopts a holistic approach
to the topic, examining approaches to piracy as these emerge in
different geographical areas, as well as tackling the central
issues which counter-piracy raises in terms of the most topical
aspects of international law (international humanitarian law and
armed conflict, piracy and terrorism, use of force). It also
focuses on the approach of the EU, placing counter-piracy in its
broader legal context. Providing a detailed doctrinal exploration
of the issues which counter-piracy raises, it emphasises and draws
upon the insights of the practice of counter-piracy by bringing
together academic lawyers and the legal advisers of the main actors
in the area (EU, US, NATO, UK). The book raises fundamental
questions about the law and practice of international law: are the
rules of the international law of the sea on piracy still relevant?
To what extent has the shared interest of international actors in
tackling piracy given rise to common practices? Do the interactions
among the actors examined in the book suggest fragmentation or
unity of the international legal order? Is it premature to view
these interactions as signalling the gradual emergence of global
law in the area? This common analytical frame of reference is
underlined by the concluding part, which draws these threads
together. The book will be of interest to legal scholars, political
scientists and international relations theorists, as well as
decision-makers and students of law, politics and international
relations.
This collection of essays brings together contributions from
judges, legal scholars and practitioners in order to provide a
comprehensive assessment of the law and practice of exceptions from
the principle of free movement. It aims: - to conceptualise how
justification arguments relating to exceptions to free movement
operate in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European
Union and national courts; - to develop a comprehensive and
original account of empirical problems on the application of
proportionality; - to explore the legal and policy issues which
shape the interactions between the EU and national authorities,
including national courts, in the context of the efforts made by
Member States to protect national differences. The book analyses
economic, social, cultural, political, environmental and consumer
protection justifications. These are examined in the light of the
rebalancing of the EU constitutional order introduced by the Lisbon
Treaty and the implications of the financial crisis in the Union.

How is the international responsibility of the European Union
determined? In the context of the multilayered and ever-evolving EU
legal order, the Lisbon Treaty has introduced considerable changes
to the EU's participation in international affairs. These have
rendered this thorny question an even more pressing concern, not
only for the EU and its Member States, but also for third countries
and international organizations. Based on papers delivered at the
bi-annual EU/International Law Forum organized by the University of
Bristol in May 2011, this volume brings together EU and
international law experts to address the various questions raised
by the EU's international responsibility. The book discusses
horizontal issues, such as the concept of responsibility of
international organizations in the evolving international legal
order and the different techniques available for determining
responsibility. It also focuses on specific policy areas (trade,
finance and investment, environment, security and defense, and
human rights) by approaching them from both an EU and international
law perspective.
A lively debate on the constitutionalisation of the international
legal order has emerged in recent years. A similar debate has also
taken place within the European Union. This book complements that
debate, exploring the underlying realities that the moves towards
constitutionalism seek to address. It does this by focusing on the
substantive interconnections that the EU has developed over the
years with the rest of the world, and assesses the practical impact
these have both in the development of its legal order as well as in
the international community. Based on papers delivered at the
bi-annual EU/International Law Forum organised by the University of
Bristol in March 2009, this collection of essays examines policy
areas of economic governance (trade, financial services, migration,
environment), political governance (human rights, criminal law,
responses to financing terrorism), security governance
(counter-terrorism, use of force, non-proliferation), and the issue
of the emergence of European and global values. How are these areas
shaped by the interaction between EU law and other legal orders and
polities? In what ways does the EU impact on other transnational
legal systems? And how are its own rules and principles shaped by
such systems? These questions are addressed in the light of the
specific legal and political context within which the EU pursues
its policies by interacting with the rest of the world.
Mixed agreements are one of the most significant and complex areas
of EU external relations law. They are concluded by the Member
States and the EU (or the European Community in the pre-Lisbon
days) with third countries and international organisations. Their
negotiation, conclusion and implementation raise important legal
and practical questions (about competence, authority, jurisdiction,
responsibility) and often puzzle not only experts in countries and
organisations with which the EU works but also European experts and
students. This book, based on papers presented at a conference
organised by the Universities of Leiden and Bristol in May 2008
provides, a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the legal and
practical problems raised by mixed agreements. In doing so, it
brings together the leading international scholars in the area of
EU external relations, including two Judges at the European Court
of Justice and a Judge at the EFTA Court, along with legal advisors
from EU institutions, Member States, and third countries. The book
will be of interest to European and international law academics and
students, officials in EU institutions, practitioners of EU and
international law, political scientists and international relations
scholars, and students of European law, politics, and international
affairs.

This book examines how the increasing interdependence between trade
and foreign policy can be managed within the legal framework of the
European Union. In the context of the legally distinct
characteristics of the European Community and the Common Foreign
and Security Policy,it analyses the problems underpinning the
regulation of three areas: sanctions against third countries,
armaments, and exports of dual-use goods. The focus is on whether
the constitutional order of the European Union may address these
problems while performing a variety of functions: ensuring the
consistency and coherence of its external relations, preserving the
acquis communautaire and respecting the right of the Member States
to conduct their foreign policy as fully sovereign subjects of
international law. The book concludes that the interactions between
trade and foreign policy may be regulated in a legally sensible and
realistic way within the current structure of the European Union.
The recent developments regarding the defense and security identity
of the European Union and the debate over the nature of an enlarged
Union make this book all the more topical.
