A highly topical examination of the effect of European
integration on relations between states and minority nations.
This new collection brings together the leading specialists in
the field, and covers a wide range of cases, from Northern Ireland
in the West, to Estonia and Latvia in the East, and Cyprus in the
South-East.
The contributors assess how European integration has affected
the preparedness of states to accommodate minorities across a range
of fundamental criteria, including: enhanced rights protection;
autonomy; the provision of a voice for minorities in the European
and international arena; and the promotion of cross-border
cooperation among communities dissected by state frontiers. The
comprehensive chapters stress the importance of the nationality
question, and the fact that, contrary to the hopes and beliefs of
many on the left and right, it is not going to go away.
Beginning with an introductory essay that summarizes the impact
of European integration on the nationalities question, this
accessible book will be of strong interest to scholars and
researchers of politics, nationalism, ethnic conflict and European
studies.
