Routledge Shifting Centres of Gravity in Human Rights Protection

Explore the evolving landscape of European human rights through this academic study from Routledge. This book gathers expert researchers from international human rights law, EU law, and constitutional law to analyze the changing balance of power in human rights protection across Europe. The text examines the tension between the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) system and Contracting States, while also looking at how the Convention relates to fundamental rights within the European Union. By investigating the relationships between these different legal layers, the book provides a deep look at how institutional and constitutional interactions shape the current legal environment. This volume is a necessary resource for those studying the complex triangle of interactions between national legal orders, the EU, and the ECHR. It offers a clear perspective on how key actors work to define their roles within the European human rights framework, making it a valuable addition to any legal library focused on European law and constitutional studies.
