Abstract

Steven Blockmans and Adam Lazowski (eds), The European Union and its Neighbours ­ A Legal Appraisal of the EU's Policies of Stabilisation, Partnership and Integration (The Hague: T.M.C. Asser Press 2006) xxxii + 653 pp., ISBN 9067042013, hb £85.00. In the last few years, external relations have been at the centre of the debate about the development of the European Union. The objective of asserting its identity on the international scene (Articled 2 TEU) became a political imperative which was central to the discussions on the drafting of the ill-fated Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe. The ensuing reforms, focused on improving the coherence of the EU's external action, have survived in the Lisbon Treaty which, amongst others, lays down a set of principles and objectives whose overarching scope covers all the EU's external trade, economic and political relations. Against this background, the collection of essays edited by Blockmans and Lazowski provide a very useful overview of the relationships between the EU and its neighbourhood.
