This timely book scrutinises the mechanisms for guaranteeing
respect for the rule of law in the European legal system. Focusing
on external relations, it assesses the capacity of the EU to
disseminate these values as a global actor and offers novel
suggestions for how this capacity could be exercised more
effectively. Using EU legislation and case law, the book identifies
the essential elements of the rule of law, and distinguishes the
general limits it places on the behaviour of public authorities.
Focusing on EU sanctions, trade policy and relations with
neighbouring and membership candidate countries, it argues that the
EU’s promotion of the rule of law internally and externally has
strengthened considerably over time. Nevertheless, given the
degradation of the rule of law on the international scene,
contributors call for an overhaul of EU rule of law policy to
uphold the EU’s ethical commitments and strengthen its
international standing. This book will be an important read for
scholars and students of European law, trade law and international
relations. Presenting detailed analyses of EU policy and case law,
it will also be highly useful for practitioners and policy-makers
seeking to promote human rights and democracy.
