Gender and the European Court of Human Rights
In applying an intersectional feminist legal analysis of the European Court of Human Rights’ case law in a variety of human rights issues, this book reveals a different and nuanced understanding of the gender issues. Case law within the ECtHR, which does not explicitly raise gender issues, may have gendered consequences. Profound developments have occurred in Europe in several related areas, including gender equality case law in the context of the prohibition of discrimination under Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights; non-conventional parenting rights; discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity; rights of asylum seekers; and family reunification ...
Contemporary Methods in International Legal Research
This book is a concise practical guide to some of the most relevant ways of thinking and doing international legal research today. It is designed to help students and early career researchers to get acquainted with the theory and practice of a selection of non-doctrinal modes of legal research that include feminist international law, critical international law and TWAIL, complemented with qualitative methods of empirical legal research. The book also encourages a meaningful dialogue with traditional doctrinal styles of legal research. The book’s most innovative aspect is its practical, learner-centred approach, which focuses on the applied learning of the modes of research presented.
Human Rights Imperialists
To what extent do a state's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights apply beyond its territorial borders? Are soldiers deployed on overseas operations bound by the human rights commitments of their home state? What about other agents, like the police or diplomatic and consular services? If a state's obligations do apply abroad, are they to be upheld in full or should they be tailored to the situation at hand? Few topics have posed more of a challenge for the European Court of Human Rights than this issue of the Convention's extraterritorial application. This book provides a novel understanding on why this is by looking at the behaviour of those principally tasked with inter...

Electoral Rights in Europe
From the perspective of a number of different social science disciplines, this book explores the ways in which the election of politicians can be made more fair and credible by adopting a human rights approach to elections. It discusses existing international standards for the conduct of elections and presents case studies relating to jurisdictions within Europe, especially those emerging from conflict or from an authoritarian past, which demonstrate how problems occur and can be addressed. Significant advances have been achieved through the Council of Europe’s soft and hard law frameworks but the book demonstrates that much more needs to be done to ensure that these and other standards ar...
Research Handbook on EU Law and Human Rights
The place of human rights in EU law has been a central issue in contemporary debates about the character of the European Union as a political organisation. This comprehensive and timely Handbook explores the principles underlying the development of fundamental rights norms and the way such norms operate in the case law of the Court of Justice. Leading scholars in the field discuss both the effect of rights on substantive areas of EU law and the role of EU institutions in protecting them.
