Description

This collection of essays explores the evolution of anti-discrimination law in European civil law jurisdictions.

Historically, scholarship in this area has focused on the common law, which has also taken the lead in developing the theory and practice of anti-discrimination law.

This volume breaks new ground by offering a sustained, critical, legal and socio-legal, comparative look at how anti-discrimination is faring in European civil law environments.

While it istrue that anti-discrimination law is seen as a foreign transplant in some regions, it does not fare poorly across the board.

As shown by the case studies herein, the success of anti-discrimination law is found to vary according to its national context, the actors involved, and the evolution of theparticular concept or ground of discrimination in question.
