The European Union and Democracy Promotion

The European Union and Democracy Promotion (2002) offers a critical assessment of the strategy upon which the EU promotion of democracy and human rights activity has been based, along with an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. Contributors from a variety of European and North African countries show how the obstacles to political change in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt are not only to be found within these countries, but also in EU member states such as France and Spain.
