Overview

"""The Margin of Appreciation Doctrine in the Dynamics of European Human Rights Jurisprudence"" is a full-length monograph to treat this subject, which is of importance to the interpretation and application of the European Convention on Human Rights. It should aid the understanding and appreciation of judges, advocates, civil servants, scholars, researchers, students, and of anyone whose life and work is affected by national and international human rights adjudication. This analysis synthesizes the work of the Strasbourg judicial organs, proceeding in the light of the ongoing debates on the appropriate place of the margin doctrine in the Strasbourg jurisprudence. The text is written in a clear and precise style which should be appreciated by the novice and specialist alike. The newcomer to human rights and to the Convention may find it a useful introduction to complex material; the expert should gain new and expanded insights into the development of the case law."
