This constitutionalised foreign policy regime, with legal, diplomatic, and political DNA woven throughout its fabric, is a distinct sub-system of law on the outermost sphere of European supranationalism. When contrasted against other Union policies, it is immediately clear that EU foreign policy has a special decision-making mechanism, making it highly exceptional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the now depillarised framework of the EU treaties, issues of institutional division arise from the legacy of the former pillar system. This is due to the reality that of prime concern in EU external relations is the question of 'who decides?' By engaging a number of legal themes that cut across foreign affairs exceptionalism, executive prerogatives, parliamentary accountability, judicial review, and the constitutionalisation of European integration, the book lays bare how EU foreign affairs have become highly legalised, leading to ever-greater coherence in how Europe exerts itself on the global stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this first monograph dedicated exclusively to the law of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy in modern times, the author argues that the legal framework for EU foreign affairs must adapt in a changing world so as to ensure the EU treaties can cater for a more assertive Europe in the wider world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCited in Opinion of Advocate General Evgeni Tanchev, Case C-730\/18 P, \u003ci\u003eSC v Eulex Kosovo\u003c\/i\u003e, ECLI: EU: C:2020:176, Court of Justice of the European Union (First Chamber), 5 March 2020; and, Opinion of Advocate General Gerard Hogan, Case C-134\/19 P, \u003ci\u003eBank Refah Kargaran v Council of the European Union\u003c\/i\u003e, ECLI: EU: C:2020:396, Court of Justice of the European Union (Grand Chamber), 28 May\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509952047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509952045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.78d","brand":"Graham Butler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068192682239,"sku":"9781509952045","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dd78828-7c39-414b-9a44-433f1b13f6ef.jpg?v=1685417581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constitutional-law-of-the-eus-graham-butler-9781509952045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
