It focuses on the integration of human rights in foreign policy-making in the case of the European Union. The argument posited here, is that considerations for human rights in third countries and democracy-promoting policies constitute expressions of the common values shared between EU Member States. These policies reflect their democratic norms and are part of the EU\u2019s wider project to promote co-operation and integration in order to move closer towards a security community and democratic peace between like-minded states. The EU\u2019s human rights policies have developed, in spite of numerous challenges and shortcomings, largely because institutions matter. The EU institutions have enabled the adoption of common positions; they have provided narratives of mutual identification between the Member States; they have initiated innovative human rights projects through networks with non-state actors and have elaborated policy instruments to this effect. Through these, they have challenged traditional state-centric approaches to foreign policy-making. The conjunction of these elements, it is argued, has further influenced the Member States\u2019 understanding and perception of their interests, which in turn has been reflected in a virtuous cycle of institutionalised, committed and increasingly determined promotion of human rights in their external relations.<br \/>\nLink to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ant-sakkoulas.gr\/en\/book.php?id=8664\">editor.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author: Ruby Gropas<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book analyses the relationship between human rights and foreign policy.
