In the first book to offer a comprehensive analysis of family law in the European Union, McGlynn argues that a traditional concept of 'family' which has many adverse effects - on individuals, on families (in all their diverse forms), and indeed on the economic ambitions of the EU is forming the basis for the little-recognised and under-researched field of EU family law. This book examines three different aspects of family life - childhood, parenthood and partnerships - and critically analyses existing EU law in relation to each. It examines the emerging field of EU family law, providing a highly sceptical account of recent developments and a robust challenge to the arguments in favour of the codification of European civil law, including family law.

'… this is the first book that offers a comprehensive analysis of family law and policies in the EU. … by providing a very strong conceptual background, Families and the European Union will not go out of date. … Families and the European Law is very well researched and provides the reader with an invaluable wealth of sources. It is written in a clear and engaging style. It will be of interest not only to students and academics but also to practitioners and policy-makers; more generally to anybody who has an interest in this area.'
