Abstract
This chapter traces the emergence of external 'EU health security policy and law’. As the quote above highlights, health security policy re-draws sectoral boundaries between policies and has both an internal and external security dimension. The objective of the chapter is to highlight the specific questions for policy and law that can be raised with regard to the emergence of this new field of policy in the EU context. In particular, it aims to come to these questions by conceptualizing what can be termed 'EU health security policy': its development and origins, its legal context institutions, instruments and techniques.
