The book?s underlying rationale is that one cannot place at the same starting point people who have been treated differently in the past because in this way one merely perpetuates a state of difference and, in turn, social gaps are exaggerated and social cohesion is endangered. Starting out with an introduction on the meaning and typology of affirmative action policies, the book goes on to emphasise the interaction of affirmative action with traditional values of liberal state, such as equality, meritocracy, democracy, justice, liberalism and socialism. It reveals the affirmative action goals from a legal and sociological point of view, examining the remedial, cultural, societal, pedagogical and economy purposes of such action. After applying an institutional narrative of the implementation of affirmative action worldwide, the book explains the jurisprudence on the issue through syntheses and antitheses of structural and material variables, such as the institutional recognition of the policies, the domains of their implementation and their beneficiaries. The book eventually makes an analytical impact assessment following the implementation of affirmative action plans and the judicial response, especially in relation to the conventional human rights doctrine, by establishing a liaison between affirmative action and social and group rights.. The book applies a multi-disciplinary and comparative methodology in order to assess the ethical standing of affirmative action policies, the public interests involved and their effectiveness towards actual equality. In the light of the above analysis, the monograph explains the arguments considering affirmative action as a theology for substantive equality and the arguments treating this policy as anathema for liberalism. A universal discussion currently at its peak. 410 0$aIus Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice,$x1534-6781 ;$v47 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aHuman Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020 606 $aConstitutional Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aConstitutional Law. 676 $a340 700 $aGerapetritis$b George$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059504 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255187303321 996 $aAffirmative Action Policies and Judicial Review Worldwide$92506726 997 $aUNINA
