EU gender equality law has expanded considerably in scope, evolving from its modest origins as a single provision on equal pay in the 1957 Treaty of Rome into a complex body of Treaty provisions, directives, and case law that shapes gender equality across the Member States. The pace of the legal developments can make the field challenging to navigate for practitioners, policymakers, and academics alike. EU Gender Equality Law: Concepts, Practice, Challenges provides an essential guide through this multifaceted area of law.

The book offers a comprehensive English-language analysis of this dynamic field, written by three leading scholars in equality, EU, and human rights law. Grounded in feminist legal theory and taking a law-in-context approach, the book address achievements and current limitations of the legislation, CJEU case law, and implementation at the EU and national levels. It also gives attention to the most recent directives, including in particular the Work-Life Balance and Pay Transparency Directives.

Core concepts such as sex and gender, equality, and different forms of discrimination are examined, not only within the general foundations of EU law but also in the broader context of international human rights law. The book provides in-depth discussions of equal pay; gender equality at work; pregnancy, maternity, and work-life balance; equal access to goods and services; and effective enforcement. 

Throughout, EU Gender Equality Law moves beyond the current state of the law and practice, critically reflecting on the role law can play in sustaining inequality. It also takes a forward-looking perspective, exploring possibilities the law offers to address structural gender inequality and to contribute to transformative equality.

EU Gender Equality Law

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book analyses what elements of legal regulation would best resolve the longstanding issues of imposition of terms and unfair terms in boilerplate 'contracts of adhesion'. The problem is not a new one, first recognised by Sir Frederick Pollock, but it has persisted over the intervening years. So though the question is a longstanding one, the answer provided by the book is truly innovative. It adopts a 'law in context' methodology to offer solutions. The new methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems. It takes a global approach, looking at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided by this book are much needed.

Resolving the Issues of Imposition and Unfairness in Standard Form Contracts

Regulating Boilerplate

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.

WARUM EUROPA ALLES HAT - UND TROTZDEM VERLIERT is a sharp analysis of Europe's structural position in a rapidly changing global order.

Drawing on the perspective of an investor and entrepreneur operating across Europe, the Gulf region, and emerging markets, Dr. Raphael Nagel examines the growing gap between Europe's capabilities and its ability to act. The continent possesses strong institutions, industrial depth, and capital-yet struggles with execution, speed, and strategic focus.

The book explores key tensions shaping Europe's future: prosperity without renewal, sovereignty without resources, and morality without leverage. It analyzes demographic shifts, technological dependencies, capital allocation patterns, and the geopolitical reconfiguration of global power.

Rather than offering abstract theory, the work presents a structured framework for decision-makers. It outlines how Europe can reposition itself through clearer priorities, faster implementation, and a more decisive approach to capital and innovation.

This is not a narrative of decline, but a call to action-aimed at those responsible for shaping the next phase of Europe's economic and strategic development.

Innovation without implementation. Capital without impact. And what Europe must change now

Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Outcome Reporting

This edited collection investigates the religious roots of marriage and divorce in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox nations across Europe and shows how their laws have evolved and diverged, from 1700 through to the present day. The eighteenth century was a pivotal period for the rules governing marriage and divorce, with the authority to establish and adjudicate on them shifting from church to state. The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories evaluates these historical developments, paying particular attention to the waxing or waning influence of religious institutions, values, and norms, and asking what other proposals for reform might have been on the agenda. As Volume 1 of A History of Family Law in Europe, this book examines how, and to what extent, marriage and divorce are regulated in the written texts of Europe's various religious traditions. The contributors analyse each system's teachings on marriage formation, marital impediments, and dissolubility, including ideas on the socially binding character of those precepts. Jurisdiction-specific chapters focusing on countries across Northern, Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe explore the regulation of marriage formation and dissolution in the context of religion and other cultural influences. The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories brings together the insights of an international team of leading marriage-law scholars from across Europe, and is a significant resource for scholars of family law, legal history, and the history of religion.

The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories

A History of Family Law in Europe, Volume 1

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book offers an analysis of how the European Court of Human Rights engages with identity and emotion, revealing both the promise and the limitations of human rights law in addressing the complexities of human experience. The book explores how human rights law, often framed as universal and abstract, responds to deeply personal questions of identity, belonging, and emotional impact. Based on a systematic study of over 3,300 judgments, the book shows how the European Court of Human Rights has increasingly made identity central to its reasoning - particularly in cases involving sexuality, ethnicity, and family life. In these areas, the Court acknowledges how state actions shape emotions such as fear, humiliation, and dignity. Yet, in other domains - migration, religion, professional life - the Court avoids emotional engagement, leading to troubling inconsistencies. The book argues that when emotions are excluded from legal reasoning, individuals are reduced to formal entities, stripped of depth and interiority. Combining doctrinal analysis with insights from social theory and psychology, the book presents a new framework for understanding how emotions and identity interact with law. It traces the evolution of identity references across categories and highlights the Court's uneven treatment of emotional harm. This timely and original contribution speaks to legal scholars, practitioners, and theorists interested in human rights, identity politics, and the emotional dimensions of law. It calls for a more responsive and empathetic human rights jurisprudence - one that reflects the lived realities of those it seeks to protect.
