This volume tackles contemporary problems of legal accommodation of
diversity in Europe and recent developments in the area in diverse
European legal regimes. Despite professing the motto Unity in
Diversity Europe appears to be struggling with discord rather than
unity. Legal discussions reflect a crisis when it comes to matters
of migration, accommodation of minorities and dealing with the
growing heterogeneity of European societies. This volume
illustrates that the current legal conundrums stem from European
oscillation between, on the one hand, acknowledging the need of
accommodation, and, on the other, the tendencies to preserve
existing legal traditions. It claims that these opposite tendencies
have led Europe to the edge of pluralism. This 'edge', just as the
linguistic interpretation of the word 'edge', carries multiple
meanings conveying a plethora of problems encountered by law when
dealing with diversity. The authors attempt to explore and
illustrate these multiple edges of pluralism tracing back their
origins and examining the contemporary legal conundrums they have
led to. The volume encourages the readers to explore whether there
are fundamental problems with approaches to diversity and if so can
they be rescued from their current precarious position. It asks
whether Europe at the edge is truly capable to unite in diversity
and develop a constructive approach to its growing pluralism. The
book is aimed at academics, practitioners and students focusing
their work on contemporary problems of diversity, multiculturalism
and accommodation of migrants as well as everybody interested in
the area.
There is much debate about postfeminism, what it is, and its role
in feminist politics. Whilst postfeminism has become increasingly
influential in the study of literature, popular culture, and
philosophy, it has so far received comparatively little attention
in law. This book aims to remedy this situation. The book brings
together feminist legal scholars working in different contexts to
examine the idea of postfeminism and assess its contemporary
relevance. It explores a range of questions including the
following: Does postfeminism describe an age that follows
modernism, an age where identity politics has realised its goals
and feminism is no longer needed? Or does postfeminism describe the
feminism of a postmodernist age where identity can mean anything at
all? Or, differently again, does the term capture a 'new feminism'
that discredits feminism and attempts to reshape its political
consciousness? And what might the answers to these questions mean
for law and legal theory, and a feminist politics of law reform?
