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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | A central conclusion that emerges from this volume is that there is an overlooked alternative to to majoritarian democracy and power sharing, what the editors refer to as 'power dividing.' This alternative is more likely to lead to the consolidation of peace and democracy in conditions that typically prevail after civil wars and is less likely to require the extraordinary steps of either protectorate or partition to sustain over the long term. |
