Fighting for human rights / edited by P. Gready. – Repr. ed. – London ; New York : Routledge, 2006. – X, 198 p.
NLB call number: 1И//643285(039)

Fighting for Human Rights documents and compares successful high profile campaigns to cancel debt in the developing world, ban landmines and set up the International Criminal Court as well as emerging campaigns that focus on HIV/AIDS, environmental justice, democratization and blood diamonds.
These campaigns aim to establish national and international agreements that will become the basis for processes of monitoring and enforcement. The book asks how this can be done, examines the strategies used, and discusses the crucial issue of how formalisation of agreements can be made a stepping-stone to implementation rather than an end in itself.

Human rights law in Europe : the influence, overlaps and contradictions of the EU and the ECHR / edited by K. Dzehtsiarou [et al.]. – London ; New York : Routledge, 2016. – XXI, 226 p.
NLB call number: 1И//643352(039)

This book provides analysis and critique of the dual protection of human rights in Europe by assessing the developing legal relationship between the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The book offers a comprehensive consideration of the institutional framework, adjudicatory approaches, and the protection of material rights within the law of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). It particularly explores the involvement and participation of stakeholders in the functioning of the EU and the ECtHR, and asks how well the new legal model of ’the EU under the ECtHR’ compares to current EU law, the ECHR and general international law.
Including contributions from leading scholars in the field, each chapter sets out specific case-studies that illustrate the tensions and synergies emergent from the EU-ECHR relationship. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of European Law and Human Rights.

Law, democracy and solidarity in a post-national union : the unsettled polit. order of Europe / edited by E. O. Eriksen, C. Joerges and F. Rödl. – London ; New York : Routledge, 2016. – XI, 260 p.
NLB call number: 1И//643377(039)

To many, the rejections of the Constitutional Treaty by Dutch and French voters in 2005 came as a shock. However, given the many tensions and the many unresolved issues it was quite unsurprising. The challenges facing the Constitutional debate go to the core of the European integration process as they have to do with the terms on which to establish a post-national political order.
This book deals with four themes which make up the main sources of the ‘constitutional crisis’: the problem of the rule of law in a context of governance beyond the nation state; the problem of the social deficit of the Union; the problem of identity and collective memories; the problem of institutionalizing post-national democracy.
These themes constitute the unfinished agenda of the European integration process. Law, Democracy and Solidarity in a Post-national Union is based on the efforts of a collection of top scholars in the fields of Law, Political Science, Sociology and Economics, and will appeal to students and scholars of political science, the European Union and European studies.

Legislative approximation and application of EU law in the Eastern neighbourhood of the European Union : towards a common regulatory space? / edited by P. Van Elsuwege and R. Petrov. – London ; New York : Routledge, 2016. – XXX, 268 p.
NLB call number: 1И//643388(039)

This book explores the exportation and application of European Union legislation beyond EU borders. It clarifies the means and instruments of the voluntary application of the EU’s norms by third countries and analyses in detail the process of legislative approximation between the EU and its East European neighbours. It also assesses the extent to which the EU is successful in promoting its legal standards abroad.
The book concludes with reflections on the multi-faceted character of legislative approximation and the challenges surrounding the application of EU law in the EU’s Eastern neighbourhood. The conclusions reached are highly informative as to the effectiveness of present and future EU external regional policies aimed at the promotion of EU common values and EU legislation into the legal orders of third countries.
