Comparative regionalism: human rights policy of the EU and Asean / Kumari, Priya

Kumari, Priya	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The study of regionalism has witnessed some advances since the end of the Cold War. The paper attempts to further this study by undertaking a comparative analysis of the EU and ASEAN on the subject of human rights. It attempts to trace and compare the evolution of the human rights (HR) dimension in the intra-regional cooperation within these two supra-national organisations based on different principles and mechanisms. The author divides the evolution of intra human rights engagement of the EU and ASEAN into three phases: during and after the Cold War and in the post-9/11 era. Based on the detailed analysis, Priya Kumari concludes that intra-regional cooperation about human rights for the EU and ASEAN is contingent on domestic factors, though influenced by a variety of external stimuli.

Summary/Abstract

The international community is now paying more attention to `the systemic, widespread and grave violations of international human rights norms' (United Nations ECOSOC Resolution 1503, (1970) See Burgental (1995)) in North Korea due to its chronic famine and nuclear ambition. The issues and engagement politics regarding human rights in North Korea constitute hot political debates. There are three key factors to improve human rights status in North Korea: the consistent international censure; enlarging engagement and people contact through inter-Korean relations; and economic reform in North Korea. These factors are interrelated and affect each other. The crucial point is to press and induce the North Korean regime to a compromise path
