Inequality and the European Union: New Frontiers in Political Science and Law

This book constitutes a timely and unique interdisciplinary endeavour in law and political science to investigate whether the European Union living up to its ambitions to tackle inequalities between, across, and within European societies and states.

By gathering cutting edge research by specialists of inequalities across Europe, the volume pushes conceptual frontiers as to the EU’s role in fighting or fuelling inequalities pertaining to antidiscrimination, mobility and migrations, and the European welfare model. It provides solid empirical insights on the EU policy tools and legal instruments and assesses whether they are effective.

This book will be of key interests to scholars, students and practitioners in EU policymaking, EU law and more broadly in EU studies, comparative politics and regionalism.
