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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | The theoretical and practical questions concerning secessionist struggles become ever more intense in world where the traditional territorial organization of the state is coming under increasing challenge from pressures from above (globalization) and from below (struggles for federalization and secession). The case studies presented in this volume seek to answer questions on the basis of normative theories on secession. They are applied to the practical and political issues related to Abkhazia, Chechnya, Corsica, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, Italy, Tatarstan, Quebec, Taiwan and the former Yugoslavia. The introduction sets out the theoretical issues, and then each case study provides a rich mix of theoretical and empirical material, and some of the broader issues are then drawn together in the concluding chapter. |
