From the Danish Welfare State to the European Social Model?Neergaard, Ulla; Nielsen, Ruth (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper builds on the results obtained in the so-called Blurring Boundaries project which was undertaken at the Law Department, Copenhagen Business School, in the period from 2007 to 2009. It looks at the sustainability of the Danish welfare state in an EU law context and on the integration of welfare functions into EU law both from an internal market law and a constitutional law perspective. The main problem areas covered by the Blurring Boundaries project were studied in sub-projects on: 1) Internal market law and welfare services, 2) Fundamental rights and non-discrimination law aspects, and 3) Services of general interest. In the Blurring Boundaries project, three aspects of the European Social Model have been particularly highlighted: • the constitutionalisation of the European Social Model, • its multi-level legal character, and • the clash between market access justice at EU level and distributive justice at national level.

Abstract: The Commission’s Green Paper on Copyright in the Knowledge Economy highlights, above all, the need for a serious research and dialogue on the future of the Information Society Directive. Although the directive had been drafted with the new technology in mind, the developments of the previous decade already show the need for a serious discussion about it. The debate about the issues pointed out in the Green Paper had begun in earnest not only on this side of the Atlantic but on the other, as well as all around the world.

Nielsen, Ruth (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In EU law, nationality and gender were the only equality issues on the legal agenda from the outset in 1958 and for about 40 years. Multiple discrimination was not addressed until the 1990's. The intersectionality approach which has been widely discussed outside Europe has mainly been used with a view to gendermainstreaming the fight against other kinds of discrimination (on grounds of ethnic origin, age, etc).

Juridisk analyse af kvinders og mænds adgang til varer og tjenesteydelserNielsen, Ruth (København, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne rapport er at præcisere omfanget og rækkevidden af det forbud mod kønsdiskrimination ved adgang til varer og tjenesteydelser, der i Danmark siden vedtagelsen af ligestillingsloven i 2000 gælder for alle sælgere/tjenesteydere både i den private og offentlige sektor samt af den pligt til at indarbejde kønsligestilling i al planlægning og forvaltning, der gælder i den offentlige sektor (den såkaldte mainstreamingpligt). Det vil også blive diskuteret, i hvilken udstrækning der, hvis der ønskes mere kønsligestilling, kan og bør ske skærpelse af reglerne i dansk ret inden for rammerne af de nugældende EU-regler. Kønsligestilling og forbud mod diskrimination er grundlæggende rettigheder (menneskerettigheder). I de seneste år er der i stigende grad udviklet et samspil mellem elementer i dansk ret, der stammer fra EU-niveau, og elementer, der stammer fra folkeretligt eller nationalt niveau, hvilket gør det relevant at opfatte regler af national herkomst, folkeret og regler, der er blevet til i EU-regi, som ét stort system.
