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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 challenge of ethnic conflict in the post-Cold War era is one of significant proportions, not least because ethnic conflicts at the subnational level can readily spread to embroil the entire region and larger international community in escalating conflicts. Outside intervention in the solution of often gruesome ethnic conflicts is erratic, complicated, and all but welll conceived and orchestrated. However, in order to meeth the challenge of ethnic conflict effectively, the roots of what is being rightfully or not defined as ethnic conflict have to be understood, and responses have to be developed - in general terms and specific regional theatres, such as Southeastern Europe. Only if ethnic conflicts, as causes and consequences of non-ethnic conflicts, can be effectively understood, managed, and prevented, can long-term stability and peace return to the Balkans and the Southeast European region.
