In Europe, public utilities and services - known as network industries - were once the exclusive domain of the government. In today’s deregulating environment, state monopolies are giving way to private competition - both local and cross-border. Network industries encompass not only gas, electricity and water utilities, industries such as rail transport, aviation and telecommunication but also cutting edge areas such as electronic payment systems. This means that the competitive and regulatory environment for network industries is rapidly evolving into a complex, interwoven and dynamic web that extends over the 5 continents in the world. Competition and Regulation in Network Industries explores the legal, economic, institutional and public policy aspects of the network industries.

The European Journal of Social Security (EJSS) is a highly respected, peer-reviewed journal, which is aimed at academics, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners who are interested in social security in Europe.

The European Labour Law Journal aims to increase and foster the debate on the future of labour law in Europe and to increase the knowledge of labour law. It aims to better define the role of labour law in Europe and in light of a European Social Model which can provide solutions for the challenges facing the EU and its Member States, requiring a good combination of economic market performance and quality of life, good work and social justice.

In order to contribute to this, the Journal studies European labour law in national, European and international contexts. Current and future developments in Europe and the world necessitate a fundamental investigation of labour law in the EU and its Member States, and of the basic principles of labour law in Europe.

The Journal fills an existing gap in the academic community. Although there are many national and some internationally oriented labour law journals, none of them specifically addresses the EU as a central focus of attention, including developments of labour law in the EU at the level of the Member States. The European Labour Law Journal aims to be a leading academic journal in the area of European labour law and social policy. European labour law is viewed in a wide sense. It includes labour law at the European Union level as well as labour law in the Member States. It also pays attention to developments of labour law at a more global level and its relevance for the EU and its Member States. These various levels are seen as intrinsically connected and mutually interdependent.

The Inter-American and European Human Rights Journal / Revista Interamericana y Europea de Derechos Humanos aims to offer an international platform for research in the field of human rights of relevance for (Latin) America and Europe. Situated on the crossroads between both continents, the journal is well-placed to be a place of exchange of ideas and views between academic scholars and practicians in the field of human rights from both European and (Latin) American universities, research institutions, non-governmental organisations, etc. General topics on human rights relevant for the European and (Latin) American context shall be considered for publication. In the same way, topics from other continents will also be considered for publication if relevant for the European and (Latin) American context. The journal focuses both on human rights law issues as well as interdisciplinary issues. Its editorial board is composed of researchers from the partner universities and institutions of the Inter-American and European Human Rights Network and external experts in the field of human rights. The Inter-American and European Human Rights Network / Red Interamericana y Europea de Derechos Humanos was set up in 2005 with the purpose of bringing together (Latin) American and European universities and institutions in order to build up and strengthen their capacity in the field of human rights and to improve teaching and research capabilities so that a superior level of education in human  rights can be reached. The Network is momentarily composed of 16 universities and other institutions from both (Latin) America and Europe.

Recent years have seen an intensified unification and harmonisation of the law within European countries. This convergence results not only from norms adopted within the framework of the European Communities, the Council of Europe and other important European and international organisations, but also from the parallel evolution of neighbouring legal systems attempting to cope with similar problems.

This tendency has led to an increased Europeanisation of the study of law. There is a growing need to examine the common legal tradition and heritage in Europe as well as the remaining diversity.

Academics and practitioners will only fully appreciate this new dimension if they familiarise themselves with the concept of `Ius Commune Europaeum' and use it to develop a common set of tools with which to analyse the similarities and differences between legal systems. This will add depth to research being carried out and provide a greater insight to existing and developing legislation and policy at both the national and European levels.

The Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law provides literature which enables both the European professional and academic lawyer to grapple with the special difficulties presented by the concept of Ius commune Europaeum.

The Maastricht Journal gives a deeper understanding of the extent to which there are common strands in law shared by the countries of Europe. The journal is not, however, a battle horse in the fight for legal uniformity, but a forum in which reflection and dialogue can take place about the new legal pluralism in Europe, its new unity, and the strong elements of diversity which remain.
