Not only does the volume offer coverage of a broad range of key issues in contemporary European labour law, but fresh ideas and original insights. This book provides essential and exciting reading in a dynamic field of enquiry and debate.’

‘Labour law in the EU has developed incrementally. Its shape and scope has long been the subject of vigorous inquiry at the interface of law, politics and economics. Today its role is, if anything, even more keenly contested, as commitments to fundamental rights clash with political programmes stamped with austerity and deregulation. This rich collection does an extraordinarily fine job of tracing the rhythms and purposes of labour market regulation in the EU.’
- Stephen Weatherill, University of Oxford, UK,
‘The editors of the Research Handbook on EU Labour Law have brought together, and enhanced with their strong introduction, a series of thoughtful contributions. The Research Handbook underscores the wide range of areas relevant to understanding the EU’s influence on contemporary labour law in Europe, by both evaluating the evolving social acquis and stressing the relevance of matters such as the migration acquis, the Euro-crisis and the EU and Council of Europe fundamental rights protection for European labour law.’
- Claire Kilpatrick, European University Institute, Italy,
‘This is one of the latest titles in Edward Elgar’s ‘Research Handbooks in European Law’ series – and a timely publication it is, especially for UK scholars and practitioners.'
