Book Synopsis Human Rights Conditionality in the EU's International Agreements by : Lorand Bartels
Download or read book Human Rights Conditionality in the EU's International Agreements written by Lorand Bartels and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2005 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s, the European Union has included human rights conditionality clauses in its association agreements and other international trade and cooperation agreements. The purpose of these clauses is to entitle a party to take appropriate measures, including suspension of the agreement, in the event that the other party violates human rights or democratic principles. This book provides an account of the evolution of these clauses, their scope and their operation, and analyses the EU's responsibility, under international law, to implement these clauses domestically. Based on this examination, the book explores the extent to which the EU has the legislative competence to include such clauses in its international agreements, and concludes by considering the implications of ultra vires agreements in EU law. This study offers theoretical insights into aspects of international law as well as EU constitutional and external relations law. Its practical conclusionshave major implications not only for the application of human rights clauses, but also for the EU's international treaty practice more generally. Dr Lorand Bartels brings his expertise in international law to this engaging discussion of the EU's use of human rights conditionality in its international agreements.
Book Synopsis EU Enlargement and the Failure of Conditionality by : Dimitry Kochenov
Download or read book EU Enlargement and the Failure of Conditionality written by Dimitry Kochenov and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the criteria for accession to the European Union are democracy and the Rule of Law. In the insightful analysis offered by the author of this book, these concepts - while admirable and even necessary criteria in principle - are almost impossible to measure, and any judgement grounded in them will always be difficult to justify. In his words, 'by including analysis of democracy and the Rule of Law within the field of the EU enlargement law, the Union entered an unstable terrain of vague causal connections and blurred definitions.' Dr Kochenov addresses this problem by proceeding as follows: 1. Outlining EU enlargement law in general, including the principle of conditionality and the role played by the analysis of democracy and the Rule of Law in enlargement preparation; 2. Focusing on the role actually played by the monitoring of democracy and the Rule of Law in ten candidate countries, scrutinizing the way the EU used the legal tools and competences outlined in its enlargement law. The book adopts the EU's own understanding of democracy and the Rule of Law, as derived directly from the substance of the numerous legal and political instruments issued by the Community Institutions and especially the Commission in the course of the pre-accession process. In this way it demonstrates the actual - as opposed to the officially announced - role played by the assessment of democracy and the Rule of Law in the candidate countries in the regulation of enlargement. Many formidable inconsistencies in the application of the conditionality principle are thus laid bare. This leads the author to a series of recommendations on policy and procedure that he demonstrates could be profitably applied to the regulation of current and future accessions, using the Commission's own structure of monitoring pre-accession reforms in the three areas of the legislature, executive, and judiciary in candidate countries. The probity and soundness of these recommendations, firmly grounded as they are in the actual pre-accession monitoring and its consequences for the pre-accession progress of ten Eastern European countries admitted to the EU in 2004 and 2007, will greatly interest policymakers and scholars concerned with the future of European integration.
Book Synopsis The European Union and Human Rights by : Jan Wouters
Download or read book The European Union and Human Rights written by Jan Wouters and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty, the profile of human rights issues has greatly risen in relation to EU policies, whether internal or external. The EU has thereby made the commitment to ensure that all its actions are compliant with human rights, and seek to promote them. Yet, the EU's commitment has come under scrutiny, not only for its ground-breaking character, but also because recent events have put it to the test. This volume has been designed to take stock of these developments, to comprehensively discuss the conceptualization and operationalization of the EU's commitment to human rights throughout the EU's relationships, policies, actions and legislative activity, and to critically assess its outcome. This title is divided into four parts: 'Framework' presents the issues related to human rights promotion by the EU; 'Actors' delves into the relationships that play a part, at home or abroad, in regards to human rights policies and judgements; 'Policies' takes a case-study approach and systematically reviews a range of EU internal and external policies to assess their human rights impact and implementation; and finally, 'Strategies' provides an integrated assessment of the design and implementation of the EU's commitment to human rights. This book brings together essays from around the world, each discussing different aspects of EU commitment, and evaluating the extent to which the EU is delivering on it. Each chapter provides an introduction to the state of affairs, discusses opportunities and challenges, and provides recommendations. As such, it is an essential reference book on human rights policies throughout the EU and their impact throughout the world.
Book Synopsis Human Rights Conditionality of the European Union by : Derya Zer
Download or read book Human Rights Conditionality of the European Union written by Derya Zer and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey, as a country desiring to find acceptance as a European state since its establishment, has been subject to human rights conditionality of the EU since the beginning of the relations with Turkey s application to join the Community as an associate member in 1959. This book aims to explain the dynamic of the human rights conditionality -which has also evolved over time- in the EU-Turkey relations. From the beginning of the EU-Turkey relations, for each period (pre-Helsinki period, post-Helsinki period and the period after the opening up of accession negotiations), the conflict issues as regards human rights, the EU's approach and Turkey's response in terms of human rights reforms to meet the EU s human rights conditions are scrutinized. By doing so, the book also explores to what extent and under which circumstances, the EU as an external force has affected domestic reform process in Turkey and identifies the deficiencies of the EU s human rights conditionality approach towards Turkey which have become obstacles for the EU to be a more powerful anchor for human rights progress in Turkey.

Download or read book The Role of the EU in the Promotion of Human Rights and International Labour Standards in Its External Trade Relations written by Samantha Velluti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a significant and timely contribution to the copious literature of the EU as a global actor providing new insights and fresh perspectives into the promotion of human rights and international labour standards in the EU’s external trade relations, building on and stimulating further – the already well-engaged – scientific dialogue on this area of research. In particular, it provides the basis for developing a new analytical structure for better understanding the role of the EU in promoting human rights and international labour standards in global trade and, in particular, for assessing the extent to which and how normative considerations have influenced the adoption of EU legal instruments and policy decisions. This book will appeal to research scholars, post-graduate students, practitioners and human rights activists.
Book Synopsis Political Conditionality by : Georg Sorensen
Download or read book Political Conditionality written by Georg Sorensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political conditionality involves the linking of development aid to certain standards of observance of human rights and (liberal) democracy in recipient countries. Although this may seem to be an innocent policy, it has the potential to bring about a dramatic change in the basic principles of the international system: putting human rights first means putting respect for individuals and rights before respect for the sovereignty of states.

Book Synopsis The European Union and Global Development by : Johanne Døhlie Saltnes
Download or read book The European Union and Global Development written by Johanne Døhlie Saltnes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically analyses the EU’s commitment to a human rights-based approach to development through the lens of global justice theory. It identifies limits to the EU’s approach and discusses how standardised policies, particularly in the case of human rights sanctions, may be perceived as neo-colonially intrusive and can come at the cost of recognizing the experiences and interests of vulnerable groups and allowing for partner countries’ democratic ownership of their own development trajectory. Engaging with primary sources including official documents, reports, and 45 semi-structured interviews with EU and member state officials, the book also presents a novel explanation for why the EU, at times, steps out of its commitment to rights-based development and chooses differentiated foreign policy responses to similar situations. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of EU foreign policy, EU development policy human rights, and international relations as well as policy practitioners working in the fields of development, human rights and democracy promotion.
Book Synopsis The Impact of European Union Membership Conditionality of Human Rights in Turkey by : Mustafa Cuneyt Ozsahin
Download or read book The Impact of European Union Membership Conditionality of Human Rights in Turkey written by Mustafa Cuneyt Ozsahin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights abuses have been one of the fundamental obstacles impeding Turkey's membership in the European Union. The country has had a dismal human rights record because of the center-periphery conflict and the strong state tradition. Despite the supposed impact of conditions imposed by the European Union in altering human rights record of the country, Turkey continues to suffer from human rights violations. I hypothesize that European Union membership conditionality has not worked as intended in Turkey due to Turkey's political culture and the EU's perceived lack of credibility. Using time series analysis of the years 1976-2007, I seek to understand the impact European Union membership conditionality and other relevant factors have had on human rights in Turkey. To this end, I test the impact of several influential predictors of human rights, such as economic growth, popular threat, population density and the level of democracy. My empirical findings show that domestic conditions in Turkey rather than EU membership conditionality shape the environment for human rights in the country.

This book was released on 2014-07-02 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of accession for new countries has always fascinated me, since my country joined the European Union at one of its latest enlargements. The possibility of Turkey's accession to the European Union brings new and exciting developments, since this country is culturally different from all other members of the European Union. In my work I decided to compare several countries and to see how they are progressing in fulfilling one of the most important accession requirements - protection of human rights.
Book Synopsis The EU's Conditionality Policy by : Fabienne Zwagemakers
Download or read book The EU's Conditionality Policy written by Fabienne Zwagemakers and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the inclusion of human rights and democracy clauses in the trade and association agreements of its common external trade policy, the European Union seeks to promote and transmit the values of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law globally. However, trade partners from the developing world often feel that these clauses offend their national sovereignty, and sometimes resort to alternative agreements offered by countries notorious for cutting corners. This working paper offers an assessment of the motives for non-compliance and sketches out how the EU could engender compliance. The paper concludes that there is a pivotal role to be played by education, civil society, business, and political parties in the nexus between economic growth, democracy, and the respect for human rights. The EU must target these factors directly, as they largely determine the domestic enforcement of HR clauses. In addition, the EU should develop a human rights strategy coordinated with global, regional, and local actors.
Book Synopsis The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights? by : Jan Wetzel
Download or read book The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights? written by Jan Wetzel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treaty of Lisbon has endowed the EU with a normative human rights framework that confirms recognition as a fully-fledged regional mechanism for the protection of human rights. The aim of this book is to contribute to the growing discussion of the external human rights dimension of the European Union. Its theme sits at the crossroads between International and EU law, Human Rights, and Political Science. In moving beyond well-covered topics such as the protection of human rights within the EU, or their relevance for the accession of new Member States, this book asks the broader question of whether EU human rights law has any real relevance on a global scale. In total, The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights gives an overview of the international relevance of EU human rights law by means of exemplary case-studies of the EU’s institutional and substantive protection of human rights, whilst consideration of non-European perspectives from China and Japan underline its global focus. This book will be of particular interest to researchers, students, and practitioners in International and European law, Human Rights Law, European studies and International Relations.
