Reviews

... the whole book remains cohesive and tries to address the question mainly from a legal perspective. The book would be of particular relevance to undergraduates and postgraduates of EU studies, law, and human rights as well as researchers and human rights activists who wish to assess the extent to which the EU is a global player in the field of human rights. - Mika Obara for Human rights Review (2013) 14:429-430
