Kluwer Law International now brings a selection of their authoritative International Encyclopaedia of Laws (IEL) series online. The series is composed of comprehensive, up-to-date reference works on important disciplines in leading countries. The IEL series covers major fields of law with country-by-country monographs that describe how each national legal system governs the relevant field. National monographs are supplemented, where relevant, with international monographs which detail the workings of supranational organizations that affect the field of law in question, or offer an overview of the field from a comparative perspective. Eight titles are currently available online with more to follow. These are: IEL Civil Procedure, IEL Constitutional Law, IEL Contracts, IEL Energy Law, IEL Environmental Law, IEL Intellectual Property, IEL Labour Law, and IEL Social Security Law.-- Publisher website.

In addition, a forthcoming EU monograph analyses the Regulation 44/2001, as well as the Conventions of Lugano and San Sebastian.

Each national monograph is divided into two parts: the first addresses the general principles at issue, and the second covers the specific types of contracts.

This set in the International Encyclopaedia of Laws provides profound information on the different social security schemes in the various countries. The basic ideas and mechanisms of each scheme are described in an easily comprehensible way. The legal mechanisms of the following areas of social protection are covered in each monograph: health care, employment injuries and occupational diseases, sickness benefits, pensions, unemployment and family benefits. Due to the fact that a similar structure of text is used for every country, the main differences between the various national social security systems are clearly underlined. Law enforcements, controls and appeals receive special attention. A group of international monographs explains the role of international organizations in setting norms for social security systems and in coordinating existing systems in cases involving migrant workers and others to whom more than one national scheme may be applicable. An international social security law codex provides the main international texts, in English, that regulate social security. The most relevant cases from the ECJ are also included.--About this title.
