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The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law.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 | With the growing importance of European integration and the decreasing significance of borders within Europe, the principles of separation and homogeneity are becoming increasingly outdated. The concept of the nation-state, therefore, is being challenged by the forces of cross-border co-operation, freedom of movement and regional integration. It suffices to look at the example of the Brenner border: In 1919, it represented a strict line of division between the Austrian and Italian states, a division which separated cultures, languages and peoples. Now, however, since the entrance of Austria into the EU and the Schengen Agreement, the border does little more than delineate the territories. It is in this European context that South Tyrol not only stands out, but can serve as a model for the benefits of integration and of the successful cohabitation of several cultures and language groups. As a European border region truly affected by the evolution of Europe, and with minority questions of its own, South Tyrol has evolved significantly over the last several decades, and a grea deal can be learned from it. The present study, presenting an analysis of the South Tyrolean "model" from various angles and perspectives, represents an important step towards understanding the factors and dynamics contributing to its present success and its significance in a world in which the concept of autonomy is ever more relevant. |
