This collection investigates the efficacy, consistency, and global influence of the European Union as an actor in the international human rights arena. Editor Jan Erik Wetzel compiles a series of scholarly essays that examine whether the EU functions as a coherent normative power or if its external human rights policies are undermined by internal contradictions, trade interests, and geopolitical limitations. The contributors utilize legal analysis, political theory, and case studies to evaluate the EU's performance across diverse domains, including international criminal justice, trade conditionality, and security operations.
