Résumé :

This paper offers an analysis of democracy promotion through the EIDHR inMorocco and Tunisia, before and after the Arab uprisings. It questions the effect of the Arabinsurrections on the EIDHR and European Union democracy promotion. These policies arefound to be shaped first and foremost by institutional determinants intrinsic to the EU butsecondarily sensitive to the human rights realities in Morocco and Tunisia. Therefore, theArab uprisings represent a contextual event that can trigger minor adjustments but certainlynot truly challenge the essence of EU democracy promotion in the region.
