Beyond Monism, Dualism, Pluralism: The Quest for a (Fully-Fledged) Theoretical Framework: Co-Implication, Embeddedness, and Interdependency between Public International Law and EU Law

Summary:

The objective of this Special Issue, which this article is part of, is to examine the interplay between EU law and international law, from both the perspective of the EU and the international legal system, searching for a sound theoretical foundation that explains and systematizes the link between the two.

Before going into the presentation of the specific structure and content of the volume, some observations mapping out the origins and evolution of this complex relationship are in order. In the next two sections of this article, the roots of the multiple entanglements that unite the two legal systems will be explored and problematized. This will set the basis of the collective quest for a comprehensive theoretical framework, embracing the co-implication, embeddedness, and interdependency between public international law and EU law that give the title to this Special Issue.
