This collection offers a critical retrospective on the development of equality law in the European Union.
Uladzislau Belavusau is Senior Researcher in European Law at the TMC Asser Institute (The Hague), University of Amsterdam. Kristin Henrard is a Professor of Law at the Faculty of Law, Erasmus University Rotterdam.
The book is a hugely valuable contribution to the existing
literature on EU anti-discrimination law and an outstanding piece
of scholarly work, providing thought-provoking insights to the way
in which the principle of equality applies to race and ethnicity,
religion, sexual orientation, age and disability.
*Koen Lenaerts, President of the Court of Justice of the European
Union*
For anyone interested in a critical assessment of how EU
anti-discrimination law has developed for members of minority
groups (religious, ethnic, racial, sexual-identity, others) this is
now the place to start, with accessible, readable,
thought-provoking chapters by leading and up-and-coming scholars in
the field.
*David B. Oppenheimer, Professor of Law at UC Berkeley Law
School*
This volume goes to the heart of one of the most dynamic and
fascinating fields of EU law. We are faced with an excellent
contribution, which will be the reference book on EU discrimination
law in the years to come, of great benefit to academics, officials,
practitioners, judges and anyone interested in anti-discrimination
policies in general.
*Allan Rosas, Judge at the Court of Justice of the European
Union*
This book is a very special kind of garden guide. It compares
today's EU anti-discrimination law with a Garden of Equal Delights.
The reason for this, the editors explain, is that despite all its
flaws, the EU offers one of the highest standards of protection in
comparative anti-discrimination law. Whilst this is true,
discrimination is a factually complex field of EU law, and
understanding and navigating it is helped immensely by the kind of
guide provided by this book.
*Christa Tobler, Professor of European Law at the Universities of
Basel (Switzerland) and Leiden (the Netherlands)*
EU anti-discrimination law is a mixture of significant leaps
forward and missed opportunities, which is fairly true for
secondary law and decisions of the European Court of Justice. Along
these lines, the book edited by Uladzislau Belavusau and Kristin
Henrard is a remarkable academic contribution to the development of
EU anti-discrimination law beyond gender by diagnosing legal
challenges and potential solutions.
*European Labour Law Journal*
Overall, this is a much-welcomed book that brings systematic
analysis to the existing EU anti-discrimination law literature and
offers remarkable reflections on the achievements of the 2000
Equality Directives, and their shortcomings and avenues, to
introduce further improvements in this field.
*European Law Review*
The contributors to the book, well-known experts in the field and
upcoming scholars, paint a picture of EU equality law that
highlights its aspirational nature, its diversity as well as its
sometimes detectable disorganization. They do so in a convincing,
comprehensive and thought-provoking manner ... a detailed,
carefully researched analysis, which will certainly influence
future debates. Moreover, it is a creative contribution to the
field of EU equality law.
*Common Market Law Review*
[N]o other recent publication can rival EU Anti-Discrimination Law
beyond Gender in terms of diversity and the importance of
perspectives. The well thought through structure of this anthology,
the excellent choice of authors, and the clear message on the
potential ways of empowering the concept and tools of EU law make
the book extremely important reading for scholars, practising
lawyers, experts and NGO activists.
*International and Comparative Law Quarterly*
For [its] focus, as well as for the range and quality of its
chapters, the book makes an important contribution to the
literature on EU's anti-discrimination law.
*Modern Law Review*
