The 50th anniversary of the influential ERTA doctrine is celebrated in this book, which provides a comprehensive analysis and contextualization of the entire jurisprudence of EU external relations law. The book systematically examines the field through a case-by-case account, highlighting the development of EU external relations law over time. The framework of EU external relations law has been shaped by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which has addressed fundamental legal questions related to the division of powers and competence between Member States and the Union, as well as between the different institutions of the Union. These questions continue to be relevant today, with new legal challenges arising in areas such as the autonomy of Union law, the relationship between the Union and other international organizations, the relationship between Union law and international law, the scope and breadth of international agreements, and more. The book features contributions from established academic scholars, judges, agents of institutions and Member States, and legal practitioners in the field of EU external relations law. It analyzes over 90 cases in which the Court has played a crucial role in shaping the theory and practice of the external dimension of legal Europe. The book has been cited in notable legal opinions, including the Opinion of Advocate General Nicholas Emiliou in Case C-516/22, European Commission v United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, ECLI:EU:C:2023:857 (Judgment of the UK Supreme Court), and the Opinion of Advocate General Nicholas Emiliou in Case C 728/23 P, Kingdom of Spain v Robert Stockdale, Council of the European Union, European Commission, European Exter.
