420 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The remarkable volume collects essays and studies on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and its application. Its aim is to offer a series of contributions, made by distinguished scholars and legal experts, on the Charter considered as a living legal instrument, with a view to understanding whether, five years after its entry into force and fifteen years after its first proclamation, it is being taken seriously, and whether its use and effective impact within the legal orders and practice of the European Union and Member States can realistically improve in the coming years. The contributions are structured and organized around three main themes, "The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights as a Legal Instrument: General Issues", "The Charter and Social Rights", and "Assessing the Legal Impact of the Charter at the National Level". Scholars and experts participating in the book have conducted, under the supervision of its editor, extensive and in-depth analysis on the many issues raised by each of these themes. The result is a fascinating and varied collection of essays that combines high academic quality with great practical usefulness.
