  1. European Non-Discrimination Law

    European Non-Discrimination Law

    A Comparison of EU Law and the ECHR in the Field of Non-Discrimination and Freedom of Religion in Public Employment with an Emphasis on the Islamic He
    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Sarah Haverkort-Speekenbrink
    Contemporary multicultural issues in Europe raise the question whether the overlap between the non-discrimination regimes of the European Union (EU) and the Council of Europe in the field of public employment may lead to conflicting case law. Would the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) address potential sex, race and religious discrimination in a similar manner or would the Courts take a different approach?

  2. Standard work: an anachronism?

    Standard work: an anachronism?

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Jan Buelens, John A. Pearson
    This book investigates whether one of the basic norms underlying contemporary labour law in the EU - standard work - has been subject to drastic changes. Standard work, usually defined as fulltime, permanent employment for a single employer, has traditionally been the most common form of work structure, and various legal obligations and protections are strongly associated with it. However, standard work seems to have increasingly come under attack in recent years.

  4. Mens rea and defences in European criminal law

    Mens rea and defences in European criminal law

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Jeroen Blomsma
    In the past decades, the process of European integration has influenced all fields of law, and eventually also criminal law. European legislation now requires Member States to criminalize all sorts of harmful conduct but does not determine the full scope of criminal liability, omitting to define general principles of criminal law such as ‘intention’. This book aims to remedy this by establishing what mens rea and defences should look like in European criminal law.

  7. Cross-Border Welfare State

    Cross-Border Welfare State

    Immigration, social security & integration
    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Gijsbert Vonk
    The position of non-EU migrants in social security is problematic. Many European states reduce access to social benefits for categories of migrants whose presence is not desired. At the same time the scope of application of the national systems is becoming more confined to the national borders, as, for example, countries take measures to reduce the exportability of benefits. These two trends of exclusion and retrenchment particularly affect irregular immigrants and persons moving between Europe and developing countries who are not protected by any bilateral social security agreements.

  8. Linked Contracts

    Linked Contracts

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | World | Marco Loos, Ilse Samoy, Marco B.M. Loos
    Modern society is full of linked contracts: a plurality of separately concluded contracts that are somehow interrelated. However, contract law is still primarily centred on traditional contractual relations between (just) two parties. This book therefore explores the legal consequences of the existence of linked contracts. It thereby provides insights for practice and academia in this new phenomenon.

    The European Court of Justice and the Autonomy of the Member States

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz, Bruno de Witte
    Recently the ECJ has been criticized by leading politicians, national judges and legal academics for unduly extending the scope of EU law and overstepping its own jurisdiction, to the detriment of the reserved competences or (more broadly) the political autonomy of the member states. This volume seeks to address this question from a scholarly perspective, by collecting and confronting the views of leading specialists of EU law examining the ECJ’s recent role.

    Book | 1st edition 2011 | World | Marloes van Noorloos
    Criminal law on hate speech has become a hotly debated topic in the past decade. How to deal with hate speech in an increasingly pluralist society has become a pressing question. This comparative study deals with how ideas behind the law on hate speech and extreme speech in the Netherlands and England and Wales – including the influence of European and international law – have developed since 2001 and how this can be explained by reference to their historical origins.
