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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | Using empirical data and a typology that divides countries according to their levels of ethnic polarization, the book discusses the links between ethnicity, inequality and governance. Its findings suggest that it is not the existence of diversity per se but the types of diversity tha explain potentials for conflict or cohesion in multiethnic societies. Relatve equality has been achieved in the public sectors of countries that are highly fragmented or those with ethnicity-sensitive policies, but in those with ethnicity-blind policies. The book is critical of approaches to conflict management that underplay background conditions in shaping choices. |
