'Equal is not Enough' is the title of a series of conferences that
has aimed, over the years, to generate a better understanding of
what shapes and reshapes inequalities by inviting and promoting
multi-disciplinary insights and reflection. One of the conferences
hosted at Antwerp University in February 2015 focused on
discrimination law. The conveners welcomed papers on the
relationship between social policy and discrimination law (or
closely related human rights issues), which investigate the
tensions and (in)compatibilities between the respective aims and
tools of social policy and discrimination law. They were
particularly interested in contributions that transcend legal
technicalities and reflect on the function of discrimination law as
part of a wider social policy in the European Union and its member
states. Following a very strict selection procedure conducted by
the editors and rigorous peer review, a collection of papers from
the conference now appears in this book, Equal is not Enough, which
takes its name from the title of the conference. In short, within
this volume, the reader will find a selection of high-quality
papers presented at this conference, organised by the Flemish
Policy Research Centre on Equality Policies (a consortium of the
Universities of Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Hasselt and Leuven). This
publication is aimed at researchers, but it will also be of
interest to practitioners of discrimination law who would like to
enhance their scientific background.
The research monograph Equal Citizenship and Its Limits in EU Law:
We the Burden? is a critical study of the scope of EU citizenship
as an 'equal status' of all Member State nationals. The book
re-conceptualises the relationship between the status of EU
citizenship and EU citizens' fundamental right to equal treatment
by asking what indicates the presence of agency in EU law. A
thorough analysis of the case-law is used to support the argument
that the present view of active citizenship in EU law fails to
explain how EU citizens should be treated in relation to one
another and what counts as 'related' for the purposes of equal
treatment in a transnational context. In addressing these
questions, the book responds to the increasing need to find a more
substantive theory of justice for the European Union. The book
suggests that a more balanced view of agency in the case of EU
citizens can be based on the inherent connection between citizens'
agency and their subjectivity. This analysis provides an integrated
philosophical account of transnational equality by showing that a
new source of 'meaningful relationships' for the purposes of equal
treatment arises from recognizing and treating EU citizens as full
subjects of EU law and European integration. The book makes a
significant contribution to the existing scholarship on EU law,
first, by demonstrating that the undefined nature of EU citizenship
is fundamentally a question about transnational justice and not
just about individual rights and, secondly, by introducing a
framework within which the current normative indeterminacy of EU
citizenship can be overcome.
