Research
Diamond’s main areas of research are in EU law and employment law, in particular, EC social law and employment policy; European economic law; the constitutional and institutional law of the EU; law and ‘new governance’. In the area of labour and employment law, Diamond’s focus is on anti-discrimination law; the economics of the labour market; and welfare state and labour market reform.
Current research projects include an investigation into the interaction between globalization, international development and labour law, in particular in the EU’s trade agreements with African Caribbean and Pacific countries; and a project on EU equality law and the intersection between gender and race in the European Union labour market.
