This book investigates the disparity between rhetoric and
performance in the European Union response to abuses of human
rights and transgression of democracy. With the Arab spring putting
the spotlight on the EU's self-portrait as committed to promoting
global human rights and democracy, this book examines the paradoxes
of its international posture and the inconsistencies and double
standards of its policies. With an informative and empirical
approach examining EU relations since the end of the Cold War, this
book seeks to uncover the reasons behind the Union's actions and
understand the foreign policy dilemmas and processes that guide its
action. Including detailed analysis of Ukraine and Egypt, and the
EU response to momentous changes for neighbouring nations, the
author draws upon thoroughly-researched investigation into twenty
years of EU foreign policy to create a framework using both EU
Studies and International Relations. Providing a deeper analysis
than other dominant explanations, this book presents new theories
on the reasons behind the mismatch between words and deeds. An
invaluable and timely volume, Human Rights and Democracy in EU
Foreign Policy will be of interest to students and scholars of EU
politics, International Relations and human rights policy.
