Reviews

The editors of the book succeed in putting together a substantial collection of diverse, comprehensive and valuable contributions, whose trait d'union is represented by the concept of vulnerability, its scope and consequences from a legal standpoint...this book is valuable to those who aim to understand how the European framework grapples with the most disadvantaged groups of individuals. -- Denise Venturi * Human Rights Law Review *
