Human Rights in the Context of EU Foreign Policy and Enlargement

Kirsten Lampe

doi:10.5771/9783845200187

Summary

The end of the Cold War has ushered a restructuring of the institutions of the European Community, culminating into its enlargement to Eastern Europe, under the aegis of economic integration, democracy and human rights. In this context, the book examines the development of human rights in the EU, arguing that human rights have been subject to a double standards approach in the EU"s fashioning of foreign policy. The book analyses the EU"s policy on minorities, considering the level of their protection within the framework of international law, particularly with regard to enlargement. There is no dearth of literature on human rights and the EU, however, there has been no systematic treatment of this issue in a single piece of writing that combines aspects of human rights, minority rights and foreign policy in the EU, and the influence of international law.
