This edited volume is the result of a workshop on ‘Facultative Mixity in the Post-Lisbon Legal Order’ organized by the Ghent European Law Institute on 28 September 2018. In the framework of a postdoctoral research project funded by the Flemish Research Foundation, we brought together renowned legal experts, both academics and practitioners, to reflect on the phenomenon of ‘facultative mixity’ in light of the Court of Justice’s burgeoning post-Lisbon external relations case law. The organization of the workshop and the publication of this edited volume would not have been possible without the financial support of the Law Faculty’s Fund for Scientific Research and the administrative and logistical support of Mss. Leonie Krekels, Magali Carel, Zuzanna Gulzyńska and Jolien Timmermans which we would like to expressly thank. We would also like to thank the other colleagues of the Ghent European Law Institute for providing an excellent and stimulating research environment specialised in EU external relations law. Finally, we are also grateful to the people at Martinus Nijhoff Brill, especially Anipa Baitakova, for their friendly and professional cooperation making the publication of this edited volume possible.
