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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 focus of this study, largely based on field research and interviews with current and former staff members, is the evaluation of the performance of the OSCE Long-term Mission to Estonia established in 1992. The analysis starts with an overview of the Mission's mandate and the structure and composition of its staff. The strategy of 'active conformation' (avoidance of directly confronting the Estonian Government on human rights issues) adopted by the Mission and the allocation of priorities in the broad range of activities are linked to the concept of preventive diplomacy as understood by Mission's diplomats. It is noted here that insufficient attention has been paid to strengthening the links between the Mission's involvement in societal-based NGO projects supporting democratisation and the development of civil society. Generalised findings with regards to the role of the OSCE Long-term missions in preventive diplomacy are presented in the conclusion. |
