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.
Description: This collection moves beyond the traditional focus of labour rights to consider other social rights which are seen to be of growing importance, such as those relating to health & disability.
