The present thesis intends to find out to what extent the European Union is truly committed to democracy promotion, and, particularly, to what extent such form of government is prioritized by the latter when other also relevant objectives seem to compete and eventually exclude any possibility to advocate for democracy overseas. In order to give the most coherent and comprehensive answer to such question, this thesis will evaluate the European Union notion of democracy in a disaggregate manner, by studying how democracy is conceived and defined by the latter most important bodies (the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union). Provided that the European Union has in several occasions expressed its commitment towards multilateralism, and besides that, given the fact that one of its bodies has expressed the necessity to embrace a United Nations´ constructed characterization of democracy, the latter´s one democracy concept will also be assessed, so as to find out to what extent the EU has conducted itself accordingly to the latter democracy (and also democracy promotion) criteria. Due to the fact that the European Union has strongly advocated for democracy in Palestine, this thesis is constructed on the grounds of analysing the behaviour of the EU towards the 2006 Parliamentary Election results, since those results compelled the EU to make a quite difficult choice: an unconditional and unreserved respect and support for democracy would have implied backing Hamas, an extremist political organization which did not recognized the State of Israel, a traditional EU-allied in the region.
