Details

Despite their many obvious inter-connections, EU and international law are all too often studied and practised in different spheres. While it is natural for each to insist on their own unique characteristics, and in particular for the EU to emphasis it sui generis nature, important insights might be lost because of this exclusionary approach.

This books aims to break through some of those barriers, to show how more interaction between the two spheres might be encouraged. In so doing, it offers a constitutional dimension but also a substantive one, identifying policy areas where EU and international law and their respective actors work alongside each other.

Offering a 360 degree view on both EU and international/institutional and substantive law, this collection presents a refreshing perspective on a perennial question.
