Book review : Nicolas Levrat, Yuliya Kaspiarovich, Christine Kaddous, and Ramses A Wessel (eds), The EU and its Member States’ joint participation in international agreements (Hart 2022)

Abstract

The EU and its Member States are subject to both EU and international law when participating in international agreements. Indeed, EU external relations law finds itself at the intersection of these two fields of law which results in complex legal constellations. These complexities are exactly the topic of the volume on ‘The EU and its Member States’ Joint Participation in International Agreements’ edited by Nicolas Levrat, Yuliya Kaspiarovich, Christine Kaddous, and Ramses A Wessel. The volume collects the output of an online conference organised in November 2020 at the Global Studies Institute of the University of Geneva. In the spirit of ‘joint participation’, almost all chapters of the volume have been written by a team made up of a senior and a more junior scholar’, a set-up that this reviewer is appreciative of.
