Project description

The research project will examine (I) to what extent human rights NGOs influence the European Union’s promotion of human rights in the post-Soviet space, and (II) what factors explain that influence. To test the possible explanations, the project will use regression analysis based on quantitative data collected from original surveys with human rights NGOs and EU officials.
