The aim of this book is to provide an overview of both European Union?s (EU) gender policies and gender balance in EU institutions. It does so by looking at gender equality policies and the EU legal system concerning gender equality, women?s representation within diff erent institutions (and more particularly in the European External Action Service), gender rights as a type of human rights and the EU?s role in the external promotion of womens? rights in third countries. The analysis shows that women?s representation in the EU institutions has increased in the last decades and that the EU has strengthened its att ention to gender rights in its external relations as well, however the results of both att empts are far from being fully satisfactory. 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 700 $aLUCARELLI$b SONIA$4edt$0148879 702 $aLUCARELLI$b SONIA$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571712003321 996 $aGender and the European Union$93036466 997 $aUNINA
