Revisiting Minority Integration in Eastern Europe: Examining the Case of Roma Integration in Romania

Corina Filipescu

Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, 2009, vol. 17, issue 3, 297-314

Abstract: This article examines the integration of Romania's second largest minority group, the Roma population, by examining a range of integration programmes initiated during 2000–2007. This period witnessed an increase in the development of minority rights and minority integration, based on the external and international pressure, which indicated that Romania had a long way to go in order to consider itself a country where minorities were integrated and rights recognized. By analysing integration initiatives and Roma's responses to these, the article will enable scholars and readers to understand better the implementation of particular types of integration programmes and examine which actors have been most involved in the integration process. Addressing questions such as “Were Roma integration initiatives successful?” and “What was the outcome?” will help to answer the concluding question “What works and what does not work in Romanian society and most importantly, what needs to be done in order to achieve successful integration?”.
