ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | Ukraine's post-Soviet state-building has been characterized by two simultaneous, yet contradictory trends: the strengthening of the political institutions of the central state and a process of selective autonomization in Crimea. The Crimean issue with its different ethnic, historical, regional and international dimenstions posed a considerable challenge to the 'new' Ukraine. Ethno-regional conflict was widely expected to erupt in Crimea during the first half of the 1990s. Parallel institution-building at the regional and national levels, in particular the protracted elite bargaining over Crimean autonomy, helped to integrate the region into the Ukrainian polity. The author argues that the political process behind the establishment of Crimean autonomy has been far more significant for conflict prevention than the actual institutional outcome which is politically weak, albeit symbolically significant. |
