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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 approaching end of the Yeltsin era dramatically increases the potential for major change in how Russia is ruled. The question has assumed greater urgency in recent months in the face of acute fiscal problems, institutional degeneration, declining popular support for democratic principles and rapid movement toward a market economy, is well as growing doubt's about Yeltsin's fragile health and his mental capabilities. Central to the issue od change is the idea of stability: whether the system's sometimes contradictory political , social and econimic forces are in balance. The factors discussed here - especially the ineffectiveness of institutions, the inability of the regime to aggregate and arbitrate group's interests, and the divisions within the ruling elite - mean that the regime has not yet become stabile enough that its survival has been ensured on the potential for dramatic change reduced. |
