Reviews

The book is able to live up to its promise of providing an in-depth study of such a complex and evolving topic. ... Overall, the book represents a valuable tool which answers some of the most pressing issues and to foster further debate and research on a topic that, as the editors mention, is expected to remain prominent on the political agenda for many years. (Denise Venturi and Silvia Venier, International & Comparative Law Quarterly, November, 2016)
