Books by Samantha Velluti

This book represents a significant and timely contribution to the copious literature of the EU as a global actor providing new insights and fresh perspectives into the promotion of human rights and international labour standards in the EU¿s external trade relations, building on and stimulating further ¿ the already well-engaged ¿ scientific dialogue on this area of research. In particular, it provides the basis for developing a new analytical structure for better understanding the role of the EU in promoting human rights and international labour standards in global trade and, in particular, for assessing the extent to which and how normative considerations have influenced the adoption of EU legal instruments and policy decisions. This book will appeal to research scholars, post-graduate students, practitioners and human rights activists.

Examines the European Strategy for Employment (EES) and its implementation through the Open Method of Coordination. This book explores what the EES reveals about developments in EU social governance, offering various insights and fresh perspectives into the operation of New Governance and its relationship with law and constitutionalism.

Considers the intersection between the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), a mode of policy-making, and gender equality, a long-standing area of EU policy. This volume examines the effectiveness of the OMC as a medium for the advancement of gender equality within the EU.
