Minority issues became prominent as postcommunist states lined up as potential candidates for EU membership as respect for and protection of minority rights was an essential part of the criteria these states had to fulfil before EU accession. Minority rights protection has constituted an important 'gatekeeping' criterion for EU membership. Its monitoring remains a powerful instrument to mediate tensions and to adjudicate discriminations in the present-day Europe. In many countries, minority rights standards have been transposed in domestic legislation, but whether these norms constitute a legitimate background which states accept, sustain and promote is the focus of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume takes on the task of analysing the diffusion of minority rights norms across the European continent. It looks specifically at the oft-neglected process of compliance meaning not only the formal adoption of European laws but also their implementation within the domestic context. The contributions analyse the political rhetoric, legal transposition and behavioural compliance in a range of European states, East and West, to assess compliance to norms of minority protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003ePerspectives on European Politics and Society\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timofey Agarin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138379352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138379350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Timofey Agarin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438150136063,"sku":"9781138379350","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77f05f9d-559c-4156-abb9-643912962df5.jpg?v=1777169154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trajectories-of-minority-rights-issues-timofey-agarin-9781138379350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
