Summary:

HauptbeschreibungThe purpose of this study is to investigate legislation and leading cases concerning positive discrimination in the European Union, with a particular focus on the recent debate about the most radical positive action measure: the implementation of women's quotas by supranational legislation.

The concept of substantive equality will be analysed and set against the ECJ
