Abstract
In the current context of international relations, characterized by a deep crisis of multilateral cooperation and a widespread delegitimization of international institutions, strategic autonomy has become a keyword in the narrative that the European Union has developed to project the protection of its fundamental values and interests on the international stage. Through the analysis of some case studies (related to the EU's Common Commercial Policy and initiatives to regulate the digital sphere), the lecture intends to highlight the tensions that this narrative can produce on the constitutional framework of the European Union, starting from the imperative - enshrined in the EU Treaties - that the strict respect and development of international law guide the EU's external action..
