EU Research and Education Network on Foreign policy issues: Values and Democracy
The EU-VALUES Network (EU Research and Education Network on Foreign policy issues: Values and Democracy) brings together 21 outstanding higher education institutions from Europe and the world to enhance the debate and improve knowledge of values and democracy in the EU´s foreign policy.
This coalition of nearly 100 academic experts from six continents was built by selecting scholarly excellence and inclusiveness criteria such as gender equality or geographic diversity. Our EU-VALUES network has identified the need to strengthen the external legitimacy of the EU as a force for good in times of contestation.

The European Union is a peace project based on economic integration and interdependence. Through its internal economic market it aims to guarantee peace and prosperity for its citizens. For economic markets to function properly it is crucially important that some key institutions, founded on values such as rule of law, work properly. This is convincingly argued by many economists and political scientists analyzing the institutional foundations of economic development. It is for this reason that the EU included in its founding Treaties references to key-values such as rule of law; and that adherence to these values is a condition sine qua non for membership.
