From the Publisher
"Vanja Petricevic thoroughly and eloquently examines the crucial issue of national compliance with EU anti-discrimination legislation. In the extensive literature on the subject matter, this book clearly stands out. Meticulously researched, creative in its methodological approach and lucidly written, it should appeal to and be required reading for experts and novices alike." Peo Hansen, Professor of Political Science, Linköping University, Sweden
"This book provides a critical exploration that is new and innovative. It will be appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic. Petricevic, in her precise analyses, discusses various models of anti-discrimination attempts at national, supra-national and sub-national levels within the European Union. This is not only a must-read for all who lack understanding of the anti-discrimination legislation in the European Union and its nation states, but also a challenging text for the European Union´s policy makers." Michal Vašečka, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, and member of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance of the Council of Europe
"Petricevic's study is an important step towards better understanding differences and convergence of national norms and practices with EU law. The structure and organization of the study are highly commendable. The multi-level approach used in the study to explain patterns of compliance at state, organizational and individual levels with EU Anti-Discrimination Directives is original and effective." Alla Manukyan, Lecturer, Iowa State University, USA
