The European Union and Human Rights - Analysis, Cases, and Materials - Grand Format

"This is a masterful text that takes on the entire field and delivers a broad, clear overview of the terrain. It does so with a notable degree of reflection and analysis while also presenting foundational texts and academic writings. I commend it to the attention of EU scholars and practitioners across the disciplines.", Michael O'Flaherty, Director, EU Fundamental Rights Agency. "In this accessible and nuanced book, Wouters and Ovádek shine a light on the delicate interplay between human rights and EU law, policy, regional governance and external affairs.
Abounding in experdy selected cases and materials, this is an exceptional book for students wishing to engage with the complex terrain of human rights in the EU, and an invaluable resource for international human rights scholars", Rosemary Ann Byrne, Professor of Legal Studies, NYU Abu Dhabi. "In an era of internal and external political turbulence the protection of human rights is an issue of critical importance for the EU.
This book is thus a very welcome addition to the academic literature and should be of considerable interest to students, academics and practicing lawyers. Wide-ranging and authoritative, combining text and materials, it covers institutional and substantive areas of human rights law, external as well as internat policy, and devotes particular attention to areas such as migration policy and anti-discrimination", Gráinne De Burca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law, NYU.
"Amid the rapidly expanding academic literature on the EU and human rights this book stands out. It offers substantial depth to the complex nature of human rights in EU internal and external matters. It brings to the reader the historical dimensions and contemporary challenges all well balanced with cases, regulations and texts. This book will be essential at any academic course addressing human rights in the EU, it will position the EU firmer among human rights scholars and it will bring the human rights dimension to professionals working in other fields of EU law", Morten Kjaerum, Director, Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, former Director, EU Fundamental Rights Agency.
