ABSTRACT
This chapter has as its objective the re-reading of EU International Relations (IR) law by revealing insights from revolution as developed by Leonid Pitamic some time ago and the more recent emergence of EU critical studies. EU IR is a field where the EU’s engagement with the world, international organisations and current and future third countries has become a highly prominent symbol of the EU’s capacity to survive and endure in the global legal order, however weakened internally crisis by crisis. International relations appears increasingly to operate as a most insightful lens to analyse EU integration like no other subject.
