The course examines, from a legal perspective, the external relations of the EU. The first part analyses the EU as an international actor from a historical perspective, its legal personality, the institutional framework of EU external relations, and the external competences of the EU. The second part analyses the instruments and procedures of EU external relations, including the negotiation and conclusion of international agreements, the relationship between EU law and international law, mixed agreements, the EU's participation in international organisations, and the relationship between Member States' agreements and EU law. The third part analyses major policy areas of EU external relations, i.a. the common foreign and security policy, and the common commercial policy.
A detailed course outline and a reader containing mandatory and background readings are distributed at the beginning of the course through the Canvas Learning Management System. Students are expected to have read the mandatory reading before the scheduled lecture.
The course is law in context. External relations have an important political context and content. The EU has framed all this in a stringent legal canvas. The objective and the challenge are that students having followed the course have a clear understanding of the legal structure and can translate and apply it to actual situations as they present them from year to year.
