The EU Race Directive

In 2000, the EU adopted a Directive against discrimination on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin, this book provides an in-depth evaluation of the Race Directive. The book charts the historical development of the Directive, looks at models of equality, and questions how successful the Race Directive has been.
