Liber amicorum Danny Pieters. Durven out of the box denken
In september 2022 gaat professor Danny Pieters met emeritaat. Tijdens zijn rijkgevulde carrière drukte hij zijn stempel op meerdere domeinen. Dat brede interesseveld komt ook terug in dit Liber Amicorum, met bijdragen over socialezekerheidsrecht, maar ook over andere rechtstakken, taal en fundamentele waarden.00De bijdragen zijn bewust kort gehouden met een duidelijke focus: waar is er verandering nodig? Dit past geheel in de stijl van Danny Pieters zelf: onderbouwd, maar to the point en met een duidelijk doel voor ogen. In de geest van de gevierde wordt er getracht uitdagend te denken en op zoek te gaan naar nieuwe inzichten. Dit Liber Amicorum is dan ook een gepast eerbetoon aan een loopbaan die veel waardering krijgt in binnen- en buitenland.
Law and Revolution
The last one hundred years have seen a number of events that could be perceived as disruptive challenges to the normal operation of the legal order. Some have been disruptive innovations of technologies or business practices, others social changes or constitutional transformations, further buttressed by the impact of globalisation and interdependence affecting the development of international, transnational and global law. Coincidentally, this period of one hundred years has been bookended by two pandemics, themselves disruptive realities testing the resilience as well as the adaptability of the legal regimes. A hundred years ago, the founding dean of a newly established law faculty beginnin...
Navigating Social Security Options
This book explores a variety of social risks and possible policy options that could be put in place to either prevent, or lessen the negative consequences of their materialisation. Pieters groups these policy issues into four major social risks -- income replacement in case of old age and survivorship; unemployment; incapacity for work; and social health care protection – all of which are crucial to the development of a social security system. Navigating Social Security Options draws on extensive knowledge of various national social security systems to compare their costs and benefits, taking into account both their structural elements (conditions of work, education and living), and cultural elements (influence of political parties, trade unions, employers’ organisations, traditions). As a concise comparative point of reference, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of social policy and law, as well as policy makers.

Fed up with the right to food?
There is no one in this world who would deny the importance of access to adequate food for every human being. In fact, access to food has been declared a human right in 1948 with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In spite of the right to food to be more than half a century old, many are not aware, misunderstand or even marginalize this human right. This book serves two purposes and many audiences. First, it is meant for those who want to get a better understanding of the right to food and how this right has been developed in international law. Second, it also explains why this human right has been marginalized by one of the richest countries in the world: the Netherlands. As such this unique collection of articles provides an exciting view on the making of law and policy, with contributions from lawyers, sociologists and human rights defenders.
Environmental Integration in Competition and Free-movement Laws
Focusing on competition, State aid, and free movement law, this book develops a conceptual framework for understanding the integration of environmental concerns in those legal domains and compares the different legal tests that have emerged for delimiting and weighing environmental considerations against other public goals.

International Health Law
In the twenty-first century, complex health care problems have remained unsolved. Conflicts between public interests and individual rights, evolving public health crises in low income countries, the challenge of regulating health professionals, and the effects of globalisation on health (care systems) dominate the contemporary debates in this field. In a way, these problems expose the (regulatory) weaknesses of health systems responding to these questions. Facing these problems, health lawyers and policy makers should - more than in the past - focus on underlying normative values in health care. Core values include solidarity and justice in health care access. International Health Law explor...
Social Security as a Human Right
An International Expert Workshop on the Right to Social Security was held in April 2005 at the German Institute for Human Rights, whose purpose was to highlight specific issues of the right to social security which should be addressed by the Committee when drafting a General Comment on article 9. The results of this workshop are published in this volume providing an insight into the current challenges on social security as a human right.
