By blending social science research with traditional normative work, it aims to influence human rights policy processes through new ways of framing empirical realities. The contributors to this volume critically examine the experience of the Agency in its first decade, exploring FRA's historical, political and legal foundations and its evolving record across major strands of EU fundamental rights. Central themes arising from these chapters include consideration of howthe Agency manages the tension between a mandate to advise and the more traditional approach of human rights bodies to monitor', and howits research impacts the delicate equilibrium between these two contesting roles.FRA's experience as thefirst embedded' human rights agency is also highlighted, suggesting a rolefor alternative and less oppositional orientations for human rights research. While authors observe the benefits of the technocratic approach to human rights research that is a hallmark of FRA's evidence-based policy advice, they also note its constraints. FRA's policy work requires a continued awareness of political realities in Brussels, Member States, and civil society. Consequently, the complex process of determining the Agency's research agenda reflects the strategic priorities of key actors. This is an important factor in the Agency's role in the EU human rights landscape. This pioneering position of the Agency should invite reflection on new forms of institutionalized human rights research for the future. 606 $aHuman rights$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aDroits de l'homme$9fre$2ECLAS 606 $aEU policy - national policy$9eng$2EUROVOC 607 $aEuropean Union countries$2fast 615 0$aHuman rights 615 7$aDroits de l'homme 615 7$aEU policy - national policy 676 $a341.48094 701 $aByrne$b Rosemary$01556357 701 $aEntzinger$b H.
