Edited by Panos Koutrakos, Professor of European Union Law and Jean Monnet Professor of EU Law, City, University of London, UK<i>‘This book constitutes a remarkable contribution to the debate of the EU’s Foreign Policy’</i>
- Michael Lysander Fremuth, China-EU Law Journal,
<i>‘This is not just another book on the external action of the European Union. It is a worthy attempt to overcome a division in academic literature between political science and legal approaches to the subject. . . this work is the result of a well-considered and successful exercise to bridge the gap between law and political science. The structure of the book, the quality of the contributions and the detailed index make it recommended literature for everybody who is interested in the foreign policy of the European Union.’ </i>
- Peter Van Elsuwege, Common Market Law Review,
<i>‘. . . with regard to the subject matter, this volume is an encouraging attestation of the fact that EU foreign policy, even though at times appearing woolly and inert, is moving forward across the board. With regard to scholarship, it demonstrates, in an equally encouraging manner, that the “cohabitation” of law and political science/international relations does not have to result in “a house divided”.’</i>
- Joris Larik, European Foreign Affairs Review,
<i>‘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.’</i>
- Nick Witney, European Council on Foreign Relations and Former Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency, UK,

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.
