Edited by Steven Blockmans, Professor of EU External Relations Law and Governance, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Head of EU Foreign Policy, CEPS, Belgium and Panos Koutrakos, Professor of European Union Law and Jean Monnet Professor of EU Law, City, University of London, UK

'Under the Treaty of Lisbon, the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), occupies a distinct place in EU external relations. This Research Handbook will provide an indispensable tool for understanding the specific features of the CFSP as well as the way it interacts with the non-CFSP part of EU external relations law. We are faced with a comprehensive, well-structured and highly informative collection of articles by a group of top experts on EU law and external relations law in particular.'--Allan Rosas, Judge at the European Court of Justice, Luxembourg'A must-read for everyone who is interested in understanding how the basic texts in the EU Treaties, as modified by the Lisbon Treaty, and their implementation in the recent years, may -or not- help the EU to become a stronger actor on the international scene.'--Jean-Claude Piris, Former DG of the Legal Service of the Council of the EU, France
