“The author has made an excellent contribution to the understanding of the actual topic of compliance with EU anti-discrimination legislation. Overall, this informative and thoroughly researched book will be of interest to a broad audience of academics and practitioners, as well as an invaluable basis for further research on factors influencing compliance, as well as on the discrepancies between different states and their ability to comply.” (Laura Asarite, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (7), 2016)

"Vanja Petricevic thoroughly and eloquently examines the crucial issue of national compliance with EU anti-discrimination legislation. In the extensive literature on the subject matter, this book clearly stands out. Meticulously researched, creative in its methodological approach and lucidly written, it should appeal to and be required reading for experts and novices alike." Peo Hansen, Professor of Political Science, Linköping University, Sweden

"This book provides a critical exploration that is new and innovative. It will be appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic. Petricevic, in her precise analyses, discusses various models of anti-discrimination attempts at national, supra-national and sub-national levels within the European Union. This is not only a must-read for all who lack understanding of the anti-discrimination legislation in the European Union and its nation states, but also a challenging text for the European Union´s policy makers." Michal Va e?ka, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, and member of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance of the Council of Europe

"Petricevic's study is an important step towards better understanding differences and convergence of national norms and practices with EU law. The structure and organization of the study are highly commendable. The multi-level approach used in the study to explain patterns of compliance at state, organizational and individual levels with EU Anti-Discrimination Directives is original and effective." Alla Manukyan, Lecturer, Iowa State University, USA
