Fundamental Rights and Private Law in Europe
The book explores the relationship between fundamental rights and private law in Europe, a debate usually referred to as Drittwirkung or ‘horizontal effect of fundamental rights’. The work focuses on the field of tort law and looks, in particular, at the legal position of the tortfeasor. Part I of the book is dedicated to exploring the different possible models of Drittwirkung, the functions and evolution of tort law, and the particular impact that fundamental rights may have in shaping the legal consequences that may derive to tortfeasors from their tortious acts. Part II focuses on the relationship between children’s tortious liability and their fundamental rights in a number of jurisdictions including France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, and England and Wales. The book goes on to consider policy implications and advances proposals which would ensure the optimisation and maximisation of the scope of fundamental rights in the field of tort law.
Living with IBS
If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you're not alone - it affects up to 20 per cent of the population in the Western world. In fact, it is so widespread that some specialists have called it 'the common cold of the gastrointestinal illnesses'. Medical treatments are only moderately effective, and many experts now agree that the focus should be on improving quality of life for people with this condition. Living With IBS uses the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people overcome the distress associated with IBS and to live a more vital and fulfilling life.
The Human Face of the European Union
This title assesses EU law and policy using a novel and alternative framework based on the notion of humaneness.
Portugal de perto
Em início de 2008, ao fim de mais de 20 anos de jornalismo, Nuno Ferreira decidiu finalmente colocar em prática um sonho antigo: atravessar o seu próprio país a pé, pelos interiores mais recônditos, de Sagres a Cevide, no ponto mais a norte de Portugal continental. Das planícies amarelas do Alentejo às mais esconsas aldeias das serras do norte, o jornalista foi encontrando o que resta de um país outrora rural, hoje esvaziado em grande parte pela demanda das cidades, vilas e estrangeiro. O Portugal de Nuno Ferreira é um território onde a beleza natural de algumas das mais impolutas paisagens da Europa contrasta com o abandono a que são votadas pelo poder central. A viagem leva o repórter a confrontar-se com os efeitos da desertificação na vivência quotidiana das populações. Encontrou medo e desconfiança mas também histórias de resiliência e sobrevivência em lugares perdidos no mapa onde a cultura popular de gerações resiste nas mãos de um punhado de resistentes.

Gender and Queer Perspectives on Brexit
This collection examines the opportunities and challenges, rights and wrongs, and prospects and risks of Brexit from the perspectives of gender and sexuality. While much has been written about Brexit from legal, political, social and economic perspectives, there has been little analysis of the effects of Brexit on women and gender/sexual minorities who have historically been marginalised and whose voices have been less audible in political debates – both nationally and at the European level. The collection explores how Brexit might change the equality, human rights and social justice landscape, but from the viewpoint of women and gender/sexual minorities. The contributions gathered in it demonstrate the variety of ways that Brexit will make a difference to the lives of women and individuals marginalised because of gender or sexual identity.
Chamo-me Nuno e Sou Alcoólico
Este é o relato na primeira pessoa de um homem – jornalista de profissão, pai de dois filhos, viajante e melómano – que caiu na armadilha da dependência do álcool e viu o seu mundo desmoronar-se lentamente. Uma história semelhante a muitas outras que, todos os dias, destroem vidas e famílias sob a capa da vergonha, da culpa e do silêncio, mas que, ao contrário dessas, é trazida a público pela coragem e autenticidade do seu protagonista: o jornalista Nuno Ferreira. Sem filtros nem lugar para a autocomiseração, Chamo-me Nuno e Sou Alcoólico é, simultaneamente, um murro no estômago, uma manifestação de força e um comovente sinal de esperança para todos aqueles que, directa ou indirectamente, sentiram na pele o flagelo das adições.
Queering Asylum in Europe
This two-volume open-access book offers a theoretically and empirically-grounded portrayal of the experiences of people claiming international protection in Europe on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). It shows how European asylum systems might and should treat asylum claims based on people’s SOGI in a fairer, more humane way. Through a combined comparative, interdisciplinary (socio-legal), human rights, feminist, queer and intersectional approach, this book examines not only the legal experiences of people claiming asylum on grounds of their SOGI, but also their social experiences outside the asylum decision-making framework. The authors analyse how SOGI-related claims are adjudicated in different European frameworks (European Union, Council of Europe, Germany, Italy and UK) and offer detailed recommendations to adequately address the intersectional experiences of individuals seeking asylum. This unique approach ensures that the book is of interest not only to researchers in migration and refugee studies, law and wider academic communities, but also to policy makers and practitioners in the field of SOGI asylum.
Recycling and Extended Producer Responsibility
An overriding value of European legislation on waste management is the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle. For example, all economic operators placing packaging onto the EU market are responsible for its proper management and recovery. However, in general, the collection and treatment of urban waste is the responsibility of local authorities. It has therefore been necessary to establish a system of financial compensations between producers and waste management operators. Analysing the legal and institutional schemes of several member states and accounting for all the costs and benefits to their local authorities due to selective collection and sorting, this book provides an acc...
