Theoretical approaches to Roma Empowerment

Budapest, Hungary
1 June 2013


This workshop invites young social scientists to discuss normative questions of Roma empowerment. The interest in Roma as a policy issue accelerated dramatically after Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU. During the run-up to 2004/2007 enlargement, the European Commission put the spotlight on the unsatisfactory practices of EU candidate countries regarding their minority communities and pressed for stringent non-discrimination policies regarding Romani communities specifically.
