This open access book simultaneously addresses both the segmenting and the egalitarian function of individual labour law, in almost all countries of the world, in some chapters following up from its origin to the present. Its socio-legal approach fills gaps for sociological, legal and historical research of regulatory social policy. Labour law is dealt with both in qualitative (theoretical, hermeneutic and historical) and in quantitative manner (with the leximetrics method developing new ways to measure generosity and coverage of law). This is a groundbreaking contribution to regulatory social policy research. By indicating the relevance and the mechanisms of legal segmentation for labour market segmentation, unequal opportunities and social stratification it provides evidence for the assumptions that social segmentation does not only stem from market forces, but also from the law itself. Even the rising impact of egalitarian law cannot fully cope with legal segmentation. The book chapters place particular emphasis on the development in countries of the Global South.

Der altenative Verfassungsschutzbericht›Die Themen gehen uns nicht aus‹, so die Herausgeber des Grundrechte-Reports. Leider – muss man hinzufügen. Sie reichen von der menschenunwürdigen Unterbringung im Strafvollzug, dem Einsatz von Staatstrojanern, der Überwachung von Demonstrierenden durch Drohnen, über Abschiebungen in Staaten, in denen Folter praktiziert wird, bis hin zum eingeschränkten Adoptionsrecht der Lebenspartner. Ein wiederkehrendes Thema ist das bedrohte Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung.
