Minority Governance in Europe is the first volume in the new ECMI/LGI Series on   Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues.The Series is a joint venture of the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI)and the Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative (LGI).The ECMI/LGI Series aims to provide a highly visible and accessible platform for ECMI s cutting-edge studies.These multi-author works are the result of the Centre s cooperative research projects,often lasting a number of years.While these projects were at times supported by conferences and seminars,the resulting books attempt to present a coherent and comprehensive picture of the area under investigation.

The majority of countries in the former Eastern bloc, in particular in Central and Eastern Europe, feature multiethnic societies.Decentralization and the transition to a free market environment have made this characteristic of nation-states more visible and have raised the claim for a proactive approach toward multiethnic community management.The first step for countries that plan to solve ethnic conflicts in a peaceful way is to draft legislation on individual and collective minority rights.The second step is to implement these rules and manage the public sector in accordance with the accepted principles.

The ECMI/LGI Series makes a significant contribution to the relevant literature and research in this field by providing information and food for thought for public officials and professionals as well as practitioners concerned with emerging policy issues related to minorities.
