Minority Governance in EuropeKinga Gál, Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative Local Government and Public Service Initiative, Open Society Institute, 2002 - Political Science - 378 pages Minority Governance in Europe is the first volume in the new ECMI/LGI Series on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues. The Series is a joint venture with the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI http: //www.ecmi.de). These multi-author works are the result of the Centrels cooperative research projects, often lasting a number of years. The resulting books attempt to present a coherent and comprehensive picture of the area under investigation. The majority of countries in the former Eastern bloc feature multiethnic societies. Decentralization and the transition to a free market environment have made this characteristic of nation-states more visible and have raised the claim for a proactive approach toward multiethnic community management. |
