Book Description
The European Union officially acquired international legal personality with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. Since then, the constitutional foundations of EU external relations have received an ever-greater amount of scholarly attention. So far however, the body of knowledge has remained limited with regard to how the Union is actually being perceived on the global scene. Moreover, its dealings with other international organizations constitute a similar, still underexplored topic. The European Union’s Emerging International Identity breaks new ground by addressing both these themes in combination. The resulting volume offers an innovative inquiry into the EU’s image and status, based on a select number of studies of its position and functioning within the framework of eight international organizations.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[…]the book offers a comprehensive overview of the EU’s presence in the global arena. As mentioned on several occasions in the book itself, the analysis does not permit a far-reaching conclusions. However, this is an interesting read for those looking to get an overall view of the EU as an actor on the international scene […].The title of the book therefore covers the subject well: the book describes the status quo of the EU’s identity in the international arena, mainly written from a legal perspective, and indeed, as the editors intended, provides an (at least partial) overview of the EU’s accomplishments in the eyes of others.” Common Market Law Review, 2016
