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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | In many war-torn countries, civil society develops organisations that work for conflict transformation and human rights in a wide variety of forms. What changes are forced on them in the process of a transition to peace, justice and democracy, and how do they react? Some of these groups may simply cease their activities and demobilise, perceiving that their goals have been achieved, but the majority choose to undergo some degree of re-orientation of their work, goals, methods, structure, and audiences. The aim of this study, therefore is to explore the effects of peace processes and democratic transitions on peace/human rights civil society organisations, and on their relations with the state and society. It starts by exploreing the historical evolution, types, functions and normative understanding of civil society. It then draws a multidisciplinary review of the dynamics of conflict transformation and civil society mobilisation in the conflict management, peacebuilding, development, social movements and democratic theory literatures. |
