This Commentary is a fully up-to-date, solid legal work on children’s rights. It offers a contemporary legal perspective on the inherently interdisciplinary field of children’s rights. It responds to the scarcity of legal commentaries in a landscape where several handbooks covering different disciplines have been published in recent years. It is succinct and seeks to capture the essence, yet offers a sophisticated analysis of children’s rights law and branches out into other disciplines where relevant in light of the recent legal and social developments.

In 1890 wordt in de Verenigde Staten de Sherman Act van kracht. Met deze mededingingswet wordt de marktmacht van spoorwegmagnaten als Cornelius Vanderbilt en olietycoons als John Rockefeller gebroken. Met lede ogen zien de Amerikanen in de jaren ‘30 van de vorige eeuw aan dat Hitler zijn macht mede vestigt op machtige kartels als IG Farben. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog worden de Duitse kartels afgebroken en dringt de VS succesvol aan op het invoeren van mededingingswetgeving in Duitsland. In dit boek beschrijft journalist Roy op het Veld hoe Nederland, ondanks de ontwikkelingen in de VS en Europa, tot diep in de jaren ‘90 te boek staat als ‘kartelparadijs’. Pas in 1998 gaat het roer om met de invoering van de Mededingingswet en de oprichting van toezichthouder NMa. Met vallen en opstaan worden kartels opgerold en verboden praktijken aangepakt. Inmiddels geldt de Nederlandse toezichthouder als een volwaardige hoeder van eerlijke concurrentie en goede marktwerking. Maar nieuwe uitdagingen dienen zich aan, want zijn toezichthouders in staat de macht van Big Tech-bedrijven als Google en Facebook binnen de perken te houden?
In her manuscript Elisa Ravasi examines how the ECtHR responds to the growing challenges of overlapping legal systems. She focuses, in particular, on the relationship between the ECHR and EU law. First, she systematically analyses 10 years of ECtHR jurisprudence on the principle of equivalent protection and develops an innovative analysis scheme for its application. Afterwards, she examines the equivalency of the human rights protection provided by the ECJ in light of the minimum standards of the ECHR in three specific fields (naming law, ne bis in idem and equality of arms). Finally, she considers whether the presumption of equivalent protection of the ECtHR in favour of the EU is still justified.
