This edited collection critiques, from an interdisciplinary
perspective, the growing body of EU children's rights activities in
the light of broader global political, economic and legal
processes. It scrutinises the compatibility of EU children's rights
measures with the principles and provisions enshrined in the UN
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The broad focus of the
book is twofold: on the one hand, it aims to explore how EU actions
in children's rights have an impact on the global protection of
children's rights and, on the other hand, to scrutinise how
international and global processes shape EU policies on children's
rights. The collection scrutinises the effectiveness and impact of
the EU's role in advancing children's rights (in terms of norms,
laws, policy measures) from inter-disciplinary perspectives by
drawing on conceptual tools and analytical frameworks from
political science, law, childhood studies and sociology. From the

This book critically examines how and why Eastern enlargement has
impacted on EU human rights policy. By drawing on the EU's
intervention in human rights provision in Romania before 2007, it
is demonstrated that the feedback effects of this intervention have
led to the emergence of an EU child rights policy. Eastern
enlargement has also raised the profile of Roma protection,
international adoptions and mental health at the EU level. The
impact of these developments has been further reinforced by the
constitutional and legal provisions included in the Lisbon Treaty.
It is argued that Eastern enlargement has led to the emergence of a
more robust and well-defined EU human rights regime in terms of its
scope and institutional clout. This book makes a substantial
contribution to the scholarship on EU enlargement, Europeanisation
and EU human rights policy by providing empirical evidence for the
emergence and persistence of EU institutional and policy structures
upholding human rights. -- .
