Minority Rights and Minority Protection in Europe by Karl Cordell Timofey Agarin
Brand: Rowman & Littlefield International
Product Description
In order to gain access to the EU nations must be seen to implement formal instruments that protect the rights of minorities. This book examines the ways in which these tools have worked in a number of postcommunist states and explores the interaction of domestic and international structures that determine the application of these policies. Using empirical examples and comparative cases the text explores three levels of policymaking within substate and national politics and within international agreements laws and policy blueprints. This enables the authors to establish how domestic policymakers negotiate various structural factors in order to interpret rights norms and implement them long enough to gain EU accession. Showing that it is necessary to focus upon the states of postcommunist Europe as autonomous actors and not as mere recipients of directives and initiatives from the West the book shows how underlying structural conditions allow domestic policy actors to talk the talk of rights protection without walking the walk of implementing minority rights legislation on their territories. show more
