First sentence: This volume sets about appraising the current legal position of social rights in Europe, looking in particular at the two regional regimes of rights protection, that of the Council of Europe's European Social Charter (ESC) on the one hand, and that of the European Union (EU) on the other, in the light of recent developments and changes within the two systems.
