“…In a similar vein, scholars have underlined the EU's rising reliance on co-operation with third countries in certain sectors. The control of migration flows is a case in point illustrating how third countries have gained leverage vis-à-vis the EU and have engaged in 'reverse conditionality', that is, extracting material and immaterial concessions in exchange for co-operation with the EU (i.a., Carrera et al, 2019;Cassarino, 2007;Guérin and Rittberger, 2020;Laube, 2019;Okyay et al, 2020). A similar development can be witnessed with regard to the EEA EFTA countries and Switzerland where studies have started to examine how these countries seek to tailor their EU commitments towards their own needs (Haugevik, 2017;Hofmann et al, 2019;Jónsdóttir, 2013;Korkea-aho, 2016).…”

This introductory article conceptualizes the notion of third country influence on European Union (EU) law and policy and proposes an analytical framework theorizing the venues and means through which third countries may gain such impact, under what conditions and with which implications for the EU's legal and political order. The article first introduces the focus on outside‐in influence in the context of European studies, generally, and EU privileged third country relations, specifically. Thereafter, an analytical framework is developed for mapping and explaining the outside‐in dynamics on EU law and policy‐making differentiating between diplomatic, governance and discursive venues; coercive versus technocratic and normative mechanisms of influence; and the legal constraints and political implications of these processes. Turning to the potential determinants of these occurrences, the article then proposes a set of hypotheses for conditions under which third countries can influence EU law and policies, before summarizing the individual contributions to this Special Issue.
