Alkiviadou N, ‘The Far Right in International and European Law’ (Routledge 2019)

Review by Former President of the Supreme Court of Cyprus, Judge Akis Hadjihambis (Ret’d)

Extract from review process:
“It is an excellent legal analysis of the way in which legal tools have been used and could further be utilized.”

Alkiviadou N, ‘Legal Challenges to the Far-Right: Lessons from England and Wales’ (Routledge 2019)

Extract from review process:

“Its comprehensiveness is appealing.”

“Clearly written, simple to understand, and the law is well cited.”

Alkiviadou N, ‘The Far-Right in Greece and the Law’ (Routledge 2022) 

Extract from review process:

“This is a very interesting book proposal on the Greek far right and the law. It discusses the application of relevant legislation and recent developments in this area. It examines how existing legislation applied. And it criticizes both the legal regime and its application. The author engages with legal cases that are little known internationally. In this respect, the proposal is original. It engages with important materials. Attention to the far-right has been mounting internationally especially since the economic crises. This makes the timing for this book excellent.  The approach that the author follows is very interesting. All the more so, since she discusses also international treaties that apply in Greece.
