This book brings together the expertise of economists, legal scholars, political scientists, and sociologists in order to integrate diverse perspectives and a broad range of analytical tools in the conceptualisation of labour mobility. It examines how variably the question of labour mobility has translated into the policies, laws, and norms through which the EU as a whole is governed. The contributions focus on the actors – European and national officials, experts, trade union and employers’ organisations – and on instruments implemented by institutions and political organisations – European Agency, coordination systems, European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) – to increase and support mobility within the European Union.This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European/EU studies, migration studies, labour studies, political sociology, and more broadly to comparative politics.

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is the most developed and comprehensive legally binding human rights instrument in the social field of the European Union. It is becoming increasingly important and is the first instrument that includes both civil and political rights on one hand and social rights on the other. Despite this, the Court of Justice of the European Union has only rarely dealt with fundamental social rights. In this context, employment rights need to be examined in this new rights framework. Following on from previous volumes setting out links between European labour law and fundamental social rights (as enshrined in relevant UN, ILO and Council of Europe instruments), in this book the ETUI Transnational Trade Union Rights (TTUR) Expert Network examines the justiciability of social rights and critically analyses the effectiveness of those rights embodied in the EU Charter. Thus, this book completes the trilogy of ETUI TTUR books on fundamental social rights at European level following the publication, also by Hart Publishing, of The European Convention of Human Rights and the Employment Relation (2013) and The European Social Charter and the Employment Relation (2017).

Wie gestalten sich die Lebensbedingungen geflüchteter Frauen in Deutschland? Welche Chancen haben sie auf dem Arbeitsmarkt? Welchen Schutz vor Gewalt können sie in Anspruch nehmen? Welche Erfahrungen machen sie bei der Flucht und ihrer Ankunft? Welche Erwartungen und Hoffnungen haben sie? Welche Angebotsstrukturen existieren? Welche Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung liegen - unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Lebensbereiche - zur Situation geflüchteter Frauen vor?Seit einigen Jahren wächst in der deutschsprachigen Fluchtforschung das Interesse an einer wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit den Lebenssituationen geflüchteter Frauen und den politischen, rechtlichen und sozialen Rahmenbedingungen unter denen sie leben.Der vorliegende Sammelband liefert vielfältige Einsichten für Wissenschaft und Praxis. Er bietet sowohl theoretische Analysen zu verschiedenen Forschungsfeldern, z. B. Schutz vor Gewalt, Zugang zu beruflichen Qualifizierungen und Erwerbsarbeit, als auch erhellende Perspektiven auf Angebotsstrukturen und die tägliche Arbeit und Herausforderungen von Initiativen und Verbänden. Nicht zuletzt kommen geflüchtete Frauen mittels biografischer Porträts selbst zu Wort und berichten über ihre Erfahrungen. Durch die Vielschichtigkeit der Beiträge entstehen differenzierte Einblicke in das Leben von geflüchteten Frauen in Deutschland und die sie umgebenden gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen.
