Project Title:
Ethnic Identity and Policy-Making: Policies towards Roma in Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania
Project Abstract:
In spite of the increased attention from the governments and international organizations the situation of Roma in Europe continued to worsen. I explore the causes of the limited impact policies towards Roma had focusing on the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania. The approach combines policy design theory - analysing the content of the policies and the social construction of the target group - and critical race theory, analysing the role of ethnic identity in informing policy processes. This research is funded by the OSF Roma Initiative Office.
