Beskrivning
Europe has come a long way at least in the institutional response to racism. This book describes the responses of the Council of Europe and the European Union to the worrying trends of racism and xenophobia in the 1990s, and considers the prospects for combating discrimination in Europe using tools that have emerged as a result. Part one looks at the evolution of the Council of Europe apparatus to combat discrimination and the anti-discrimination standards prescribed by its institutions. Part two considers the legislative measures recently adopted by the European Union. The contributions in Part three take a comparative perspective of all measures adopted at European level to combat racial and ethnic discrimination.

Recensioner i media

'The Development of Legal Instruments to Combat Racism in a Diverse Europe provides a useful reference point to the question of the legal regulation of racial discrimination by European institutions, and consequential problems faced by States in the implementation of their international obligations. The work provides a valuable contribution to the academic literature in this field and should prove useful to those engaged in this particular area.Steven Wheatley, International Journal on Minority and Group Rights, Volume 12 (2005).
