Migrating Towards Minority Status: Shifting European Policy Towards Roma, Timothy W. Waters, Rachel Guglielmo
Migrating Towards Minority Status: Shifting European Policy Towards Roma, Timothy W. Waters, Rachel Guglielmo
Articles by Maurer Faculty
During the 1990s, European policy towards Roma evolved from concern about migration toward rhetoric about rights. In this article we trace that shift across two OSCE reports. Following rhetorical-action models, we show how the EU's commitment to enlargement and "common values" compelled it to elaborate an internal approach to minority protection. Concerns about migration persist, but Europe now has to consider how to integrate Roma as minorities.
