This important volume brings together a range of material in
different areas of law and the social sciences that address
questions concerning the rights of minorities. The discipline is
arguably one of the oldest branches of public international law,
and owes its heritage to those who struggled to create standards to
protect the numerically inferior and non-dominant communities from
the excesses of the majority. While reflecting this rich heritage,
the works contained in this volume show the extent to which policy
constructs (especially in law) have begun to pay heed to the need
to include minorities in different domestic settings across the
globe. To provide readers with a structured approach to
understanding global minority rights law the editor divides the
issues into six main headings, namely: Historical Development;
Conceptual Development; Contemporary Challenges; Fundamental Norms
of Minority Protection; Specific Rights of Minorities; Human Rights
and Minority Rights.
