Social Protection for a Post-Industrial World
Peter Kemp (ed.)
In recent years, many academics and policymakers have argued that the welfare state needs to be modernized. It is claimed that social protection systems still largely reflect the ‘old social risks’ created under industrial capitalism and that they need to be adapted to the ‘new social risks’ that have developed with the transition to post-industrial society. This book addresses some of the challenges for social protection posed by these demographic, social and economic transformations.

Collective Violence and International Criminal Justice
Alette Smeulers (ed.)
Extreme forms of collective violence such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes can endanger international peace and security. They are extremely complex social phenomena and it takes an inter- and multidisciplinary approach to understand the true nature of this type of criminality and to effectively prosecute the perpetrators thereof. This book enhances our knowledge of these complex phenomena and thus contributes to a better and more effective system of international criminal justice.

Collective Action and Fundamental Freedoms in Europe
Edoardo Ales (ed.), Tonia Novitz (ed.)
Recent cases decided by the European Court of Justice have raised crucial issues regarding the scope for collective action in Europe. In this context, this collection of essays investigates treatment of the right to strike in seven Member States of the European Union: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Each national report examines how legal regulation seeks to address conflicting interests, namely those of employers, workers and the public at large. Each report also outlines the potential impact of EU jurisprudence in that country.

Why Care?
Wouter Vandenhole (ed.), Jan Vranken (ed.), Katrien De Boyser (ed.)
Over the past decade, EU and national policy-makers alike have paid more attention to childhood poverty and children’s rights. Whether this has led to better policies, and whether these policies have in turn resulted in less childhood poverty and more human dignity, remains debatable. A better understanding of both child poverty and children’s rights could help. This book introduces several approaches in the field of child poverty and children’s rights studies, and identifies intersections between different theoretical approaches from both domains. It is a fruitful exercise for the academic disciplines involved, for policy-makers and for anyone taking an interest in these challenging subjects.

Responding to Systemic Human Rights Violations
Philip Leach, Helen Hardman, Svetlana Stephenson, Brad K. Blitz
As a response to widespread structural or endemic human rights violations, in 2004 the European Court began to issue pilot judgments, the aim of which was not only to exert further pressure on national authorities to tackle systemic problems, but also to stop the European Court itself being inundated with the same types of cases. This analyses the principal characteristics of the pilot judgment procedure and its application in key cases to date.

European Criminal Law
André Klip
It is one of the aims of this book to convey the understanding of European criminal
law as a field of law in which there is by definition an overlap between Union law
and national law. To this end, it combines a top-down approach (perspective of
the Union) with a bottom-up approach (perspective from the national criminal
justice system).

European Migration Law
Pieter Boeles, Maarten den Heijer, Gerrie Lodder, Kees Wouters
At present, there is no such thing as a single corpus of binding rules within the European legal order which could be said to embody European migration law. This book brings together in one context the European and international legal regimes on migration as applicable to the territories of the Member States of the European Union. Its focus is on European Community legislation under Titles III and IV of the EC Treaty; treaties concluded between the European Community and third countries; and international treaties concluded within the framework of the Council of Europe and the United Nations.
