Such fundamental rights documents did, however, exist in the precursors to the current European Union Member States. Some of the documents are ancient, even older than Magna Carta, and some are more recent, but all of them are texts that deserve to be brought out and analysed alongside Magna Carta and the French Declaration in order to better understand the evolution of fundamental rights thinking in Europe.This volume paints a multi-faceted picture of historical fundamental rights documents in the European space by collating the experience of 24 European Union Member States at times in history when most of these states did not even exist. It is the first comprehensive and systematic evaluation of early fundamental rights thinking across Europe and it reveals surprising diversity. Spanning documents from the fifth century BC right through to the 19th century and early 20th century AD, this review opens up themes not normally found in historiographical analyses of fundamental rights.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 2mmItem Weight: 590gContributor: Anja Mihr (Contributions by), Marija Wakounig (Contributions by), Marelle Leppik (Contributions by), Brendan Tobin (Contributions by), Liana Andreea Ionita (Contributions by), Balazs Majtényi (Contributions by), Anna-Sara Lind (Contributions by), Jean-Paul Lehners (Edited by), Agata Hauser (Contributions by), Arturs Kucs (Contributions by), Dawn Oliver (Contributions by), Maria Daniella Marouda (Contributions by), Paolo De Stefani (Contributions by), Tereza Pizarro Beleza (Contributions by), Markku Suksi (Contributions by), Hubert Smekal (Contributions by), Maria Patakyova (Contributions by), Felipe Gómez Isa (Contributions by), Nikolay Natov (Contributions by), Wim Decock (Contributions by), Markku Suksi (Edited by), Zdzislaw Kedzia (Contributions by), Manfred Nowak (Edited by), Charlotte Wirth (Contributions by), Janis Pleps (Contributions by), Louis Berkvens (Contributions by), Eva Maria Lassen (Contributions by), Michael O'Flaherty (Contributions by), Ivett Csaszar (Contributions by), Jan Holzer (Contributions by), Kalliope Agapiou-Josephides (Contributions by), Koen Lemmens (Contributions by), Tomas Gabris (Contributions by), Florence Benoît-Rohmer (Contributions by), Hesi Siimets-Gross (Contributions by), Vygante Milasiute (Contributions by), Kalliope Agapiou-Josephides (Edited by), Stelios Perrakis (Contributions by), Manfred Nowak (Contributions by), Helena Pereira de Melo (Contributions by), Jean-Paul Lehners (Contributions by)Genre: Law & PoliticsAuthor: Anja MihrRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
