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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | This project aims to examine the effectiveness of the OSCE minority regime on the basis of the implementation of the recommendations of the OSCE's High Commissioner on National Minorities. The empirical objective is to investigate, using comparative case studies, whether and to which degree the High Commissioner's recommendations during the period 1993 to 2000 have been implemented in legislation and in practice with regard to the Russian minorities in Estonia, Latvia and the Ukraine: Hungarian minorities in Romania and Slovakia; and the Albanian minority in Macedonia. The theoretical objective is to explain the differing forms of implementation of the High Commissioner's recommendations through the linkage of parital theories (theories of transformation and nationalism, regime analysis) which have been hitherto largely unconnected within the framework of multi-level 'games'. On the basis of these empirical and theoretical analyses this project intends to formulate policy recommendations aimed at a better understanding of the possibilities for dealing preventively with ethnopolitical conflict situtations and for optimizing the effectiveness of the OSCE minority regime. |
