Zusatztext Muir puts forward two main arguments in this book which can be summarised as follows: first, creating a fundamental rights policy...Second, Muir deals with what she calls the 'governance' of EU equality law in domestic spheres...This book does well to revive the theme of EU fundamental rights policy-making and to investigate fundamental rights in legislation. It provides and invites needed contemplation on the interplay between the legislature and the judiciary in the protection of equality law, and fundamental rights more generally, and the identified problem of 'over-constitutionalisation', especially as the case law is developing in this field.
