Description
Mixed agreements are one of the most significant and complex areas of EU external relations law. They are concluded by the Member States and the EU (or the European Community in the pre-Lisbon days) with third countries and international organisations. Their negotiation, conclusion and implementation raise important legal and practical questions (about competence, authority, jurisdiction, responsibility) and often puzzle not only experts in countries and organisations with which the EU works but also European experts and students. This book, based on papers presented at a conference organised by the Universities of Leiden and Bristol in May 2008 provides, a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the legal and practical problems raised by mixed agreements. In doing so, it brings together the leading international scholars in the area of EU external relations, including two Judges at the European Court of Justice and a Judge at the EFTA Court, along with legal advisors from EU institutions, Member States, and third countries.
The book will be of interest to European and international law academics and students, officials in EU institutions, practitioners of EU and international law, political scientists and international relations scholars, and students of European law, politics, and international affairs.

Reviews

Mixed Agreements Revisited addresses the multitude of practical and legal challenges mixed agreements create when they are negotiated, concluded, implemented and interpreted. The variety of perspectives with which the phenomenon of mixity is addressed, including amongst others academic scholars, practitioners, judges, the view from European institutions, European member states as well as third party countries enhances awareness of the complex nature of mixity and highlights the interconnectedness of many unresolved questions that have not lost their relevance after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon.
…an indispensable guide to mixity for scholars, practitioners and students of EU external relations.Julia Schmidt, The Edinburgh Law Review, Volume 15, Issue 2

One of the pleasant features of the book is the wide scope of perspectives offered. The reader will find, aside from the more familiar EU law and ECJ case law centred analyses, the issue of mixity being approached from a number of other interesting angles.
The contributors do not merely attempt to analyse and describe the law and practice governing mixed agreements as it stands. They thoroughly evaluate the current position, at times not sparing criticism, and suggest different improvements. All this contributes to a hugely enriching reading experience.
Mixed Agreements Revisited is a worthy successor to the book edited by O'Keeffe and Schermers more than 25 years ago and will no doubt become one of the standard works on the subject.Nathan Cambien, Common Market Law Review, Volume 48, Number 2
