European Security Union

Present book addresses the concepts, policies, programmes, legislative measures and institutions constituting the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice – with emphasis on the protection of civil liberties, namely fundamental rights, and liberal democratic values against the background of Human Rights. To work on this multi-layered dichotomy – liberty and security, or vice versa, – has been the idea when conceptualising the project ERUPT (European Rights and Union Protection Tools) as a Jean Monnet Module under the ERASMUS+ programme of the EU.
