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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | Understanding Russia requires an understanding of its self-understanding, and this is the crux of the problem. All efforts to make sense of Russia are doomed to fail, if one does not know how it makes sense of itself, how it defines itself. Self-understanding is, naturally, based on culture, which in turn, consists of constantly renewing interaction between the own and the alien, and between culture and non-culture. During the transition period, the economies of former socialist countries have become increasingly exposed to global competition, responding with varying degrees of success. Country-specific factors as well as the character of the transformation process itself have shaped each country's path from socialism. High economic expectations associated with the change process in formeer socialist countries have seriously underestimated the complexity of the transformation process and the potential for catching up. Indeed, these countries have to manage multiple transformation processes at the same time. |
