- This 456-page monograph (approximately 210,000 words) provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the evolving Strasbourg jurisprudence on family life entitlements under Article 8 ECHR. The volume covers a vast body of case law and engages with an extensive scholarship, both on discrete topics (cohabitants, same-sex partners, transgender persons, adoptive families, assisted reproduction, immigrants’ family reunification, etc) and the broader literature on judicial legitimacy. Structured in seven chapters (between 20,000 and 34,000 words each), excluding the Introduction and Conclusions, the book constitutes a reference point for the scope of family rights, contributing to academic research on human rights treaty interpretation.
