Europeanisation of Minority Rights: The Case of Roma Education Policy in the Czech Republic and Turkey

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Minority rights gained a significant role in the EU pre-accession process in the 1990s with the adoption of the Copenhagen criteria, which increased the importance of minority rights in the Central and Eastern European region. However, the Europeanization of minority rights in the EU and its candidate countries has not brought much improvement for the Roma, the only minority group that can be found in all European countries. The European Roma are targets of discrimination and violence in all European countries. The Roma face the greatest obstacles in education, employment, housing, and access to services. While all these areas are intertwined, this chapter focuses on the specific topic of the education of Roma children in the Czech Republic and Turkey. The Roma are often socially excluded from education and suffer discrimination. The Czech Republic entered the EU in 2004 and is still struggling with implementing pro-Roma policies and fighting anti-Gypsyism. Similarly, Turkey adopted a new Roma Agenda in 2016 in response to the EU requirements but the Roma were not satisfied with the result. The comparison of a “new” member state and a candidate country both undergoing the democratization and Europeanization processes reveals shared problems that require increased attention in future EU initiatives.
