'Moritz Baumgärtel's book … offers remarkably clear insight into the impact of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) jurisprudence on the actual protection of the rights of vulnerable migrants … Most importantly, he has included in the discussion the various stakeholders - courts, attorneys, state officials and, of course, migrants themselves. Adjusting remarkably well the theories of effectiveness to explain the perplexing and multi-dimensional causes and effects of European courts adjudication, Baumgärtel has created a book that is a valuable addition to the reading shelf both of a legal practitioner and a migrant rights advocate, introducing, simultaneously, a fresh set of ideas which could engage other researchers in fruitful discourse.'
