This book provides an in-depth and timely analysis of the member states' compliance patterns with the key European Union Anti-Discrimination Directives. It examines the various structural, administrative, and individual aspects which significantly affect the degree and the nature of compliance patterns in select European Union member states.

The author has made an excellent contribution to the understanding of the actual topic of compliance with EU anti-discrimination legislation. Overall, this informative and thoroughly researched book will be of interest to a broad audience of academics and practitioners, as well as an invaluable basis for further research on factors influencing compliance, as well as on the discrepancies between different states and their ability to comply.
