Reihe: Studies in EU External Relations

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.

Zielgruppe

The book offers scholars of EU law a novel analysis of the Union’s international identity. Moreover, the systematic analysis of the Union’s functioning in different external contexts constitutes an invaluable resource for public officials employed at various international organizations.
