Horizontal Redistribution and Roma Inclusion in the Western Balkans: The “Exclusion Amid Inclusion” Dilemma
Many Roma across Europe continue to face a range of social problems, including ethnic discrimination, marginalisation, residential segregation, socio‐economic inequality, and extremist violence. The lack of effective policies to address these issues has reinforced a climate of hatred against Roma, further isolating many of them. It has also affected their position in the political arena, where Roma remain severely underrepresented. In this articl…
Populist Memory Politics and the Performance of Victimhood: Analysing the Political Exploitation of Historical Injustice in Central Europe
Right-wing populists often mobilize popular support by employing a people-versus-elite dichotomy in which they cast ‘the people’ as the underdog, or by ‘performing’ crisis to discredit the elite. Such ‘underdogism’, and the reliance on crisis more broadly, remains an effective strategy for as long as populists are in opposition. But what happens when populists gain power? One would expect that they would not be able to exploit their position as e…

Artefacts of national subversion: The flag as a critical presence – or a disturbing absence – in contemporary visual art
Artefacts of national subversion: The Flag as a Critical Presence - Or a Disturbing Absence - In Contemporary Visual Art
L'incorporation de drapeaux nationaux dans l'art visuel contemporain sert souvent à évoquer une relation tendue entre les individus, la nation et l'État. Les artistes espèrent que le malaise des spectateurs qui observent ces œuvres d'art politiques alimentera le débat sur ceux qui agissent « au nom » de la nation. Ils confrontent les spectateurs à leur propre position vis-à-vis des drapeaux et leur rappellent l'omniprésence constante du nationali…
Narratives of change and repair: How the study of storytelling in the social sciences can inspire peacebuilding research
While official conflict stories often feed the justifications for violence, new stories, rooted in the realities of the people who have experienced the chaos of violence, might provide a path to peace. In this review essay, I briefly explore examples of recent research that have valued a narrative approach both as an empirical strategy and a normative framework. I also point to some useful interactions with other bodies of theoretical and empiric…
Nationalism with a Human Face? European Human Rights Judgments and the Reinvention of Nationalist Politics
In this article, we show how judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) have provided nationalists with an unexpected opportunity to promote a nationalist discourse that is seemingly in line with human rights while fundamentally at odds with the counter-majoritarian core of human rights. We start our analysis with two judgments in which the Court accepted the arguments of liberal democratic states to infringe fundamental rights of pe…
Victimhood as victory: The role of memory politics in the process of de-Europeanisation in East-Central Europe
To a large extent, the traditional narrative of EU integration has revolved around reconciliation and peace-building after the Second World War. This article examines how current memory work in nationalist movements in East-Central Europe subverts this moral story and uses it as the basis for a politics of backlash against the EU. Recent developments in national commemoration and remembrance practices in the region have enabled not only the glori…
How Does the EU Matter for the Roma: Transnational Roma Activism and EU Social Policy Formation
Perhaps more than any other minority group in Europe, the Roma have tried to reach beyond the boundaries of the national state to change local realities of marginalization. Roma activists have counted on the support of the EU to turn around the negligent attitudes of national governments. The further development of an EU framework that stimulates national states to design and implement social policies that protect Roma is no doubt necessary, but …
Incident-driven Democracy at Europe’s Edge. The Case of Bosnia-Herzegovina
In recent years, several instances of social protest in Europe have transformed into new initiatives for citizens’ participation (e.g. citizens’ assemblies, deliberative forums, etc). Can such a transformation also take place in the more volatile political settings of a post-conflict democratizing state? We turn our attention to the plenums in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which were spontaneously organized citizens’ assemblies in the spring of 2014. We co…
Changing Frames of Reconciliation: The Politics of Peace-Building in the Former Yugoslavia
In this article, we examine reconciliation as a category of political practice. More particularly, we explore the ways in which the term reconciliation has been employed and invested with meaning in the recent legal, social, and political discussions on transitional justice and EU accession in the former Yugoslavia. Much of the literature on the former Yugoslavia highlights the need for reconciliation and envisages it as the ultimate goal of a pr…
Nationalism and political competition in Central Europe: The case of Poland
To explain nationalist politics in Poland, researchers and observers have sometimes speculated about the dispositions of the electorate, popular sentiments, public fears for the loss of sovereignty, the people's historically ingrained preference for nationalist rhetoric, and their feelings of discontent about the economy. This article argues that hypotheses about the existence of nationalist sentiments within the electorate have tended to eclipse…
Reframing the Roma: EU Initiatives and the Politics of Reinterpretation
Since the accession of the A8 post-communist countries to the European Union, various EU institutions have regularly expressed deep concern about the precarious political, social and economic position of the Roma. This article examines the recent political reinterpretations that accompany the EU's framing of the Roma as a group in need of special attention. It argues that EU institutions will have to find ways to deal with the ambivalence inheren…
Contesting Europe: Strategies and Legacies in Polish Political Competition
This article explores positions on European integration in the campaigns of a number of mainstream Polish political parties in recent elections. It shows how contestations of the European Union have to some extent been driven by strategic considerations related to inter-party competition. In Poland’s fluid party landscape, political actors have sometimes relied on Euroskeptism to create seemingly clear lines of division between themselves and the…
Backdoor Nationalism
Contrary to expectations, the EU's eastward expansion in 2004 did not sound the death knoll of nationalism in the region; rather, it signalled its reinvention and, in some respects, reinvigoration. In this paper, we examine three ways in which nationalism has been redefined in Hungary and Poland in the context of EU enlargement. First, consensus on the desirability of European unification has lessened the importance of left/right party divisions;…
National Minorities and International Change: Being Ukrainian in Contemporary Poland
This article explores the question of how the dynamic of interstate relations affects the domestic processes of minority mobilisation. It analyses Ukrainian minority activism in contemporary Poland against the background of the changing relations between Poland and Ukraine. The article argues that the influence of interstate relations on Ukrainian minority activism is more complex than a traditional view of national minority politics would lead u…
Bosnia and Herzegovina: Thinking Beyond Institution-Building
This essay seeks to move beyond the traditional discussions on state change in Bosnia-Herzegovina by assessing the usefulness of shifting attention away from state- and institution-building efforts by domestic or international political elites and by focusing instead on the actions of local nonstate actors. We advocate a theoretical investigation into what might be gained from devoting new scholarly attention to identity-forming processes at the …

Explaining the Radicalization of Ethnic Claims
One way of classifying contemporary theories explaining the mobilization of ethnic minorities is to make a distinction between primordialist, economic, and institutionalist perspectives. For primordialists, the ethnic characteristics of the mobilized group are the crucial explanatory factors. Although few academic authors would uncritically take this position, it is still a popular explanation within mainstream reporting on ethnic conflict. For e…
A Minority at the Border: EU Enlargement and the Ukrainian Minority in Poland
This article examines the impact of the eastward enlargement of the European Union (EU) on the position of the Ukrainian minority in Poland. The enlargement process has set two conflicting developments into motion that both may have a serious influence on patterns of minority activism in countries at the peripheral borders of the enlarged EU. On one hand, there is a development toward increased protection of the external borders of the EU. On the…
Marginality, Advocacy, and the Ambiguities of Multiculturalism: Notes on Romani Activism in Central Europe
Activists who take up the cause of marginalized and discriminated cultural groups often find themselves in an ambiguous position in relation to the very people whose interests they seek to represent. Inspired by the ideas of multiculturalism, minority advocates turn the cultural identity of marginalized and discriminated minorities into the central focus of a political struggle for recognition. By so doing, however, they construct a particular se…
EU enlargement and immigration policy in Poland and Slovakia
With the enlargement of the European Union (EU), Poland and Slovakia have become crucial border areas at the eastern edge of EU. This has important implications for the EU’s immigration policy. Both countries have been traditionally known as countries of emigration. In recent times, however, they have increasingly become transit and target countries for immigrants and asylum seekers. The EU has exerted pressure on both countries to tighten their …

Ethnic minority identity and movement politics: The case of the Roma in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
The level of political mobilization among ethnic minorities in Central and Eastern Europe has often been regarded as directly dependent on the strong or weak ethnic identity of the groups involved. Less attention has gone to the role of ethnic leaders in creating ethnic group identities for political purposes. This article explores the influence of political mobilization on ethnic group formation in the case of the Roma (Gypsies) in the contempor…

The group expulsion of Slovak Roma by the Belgian government: A case study of the treatment of Romani refugees in western countries
The article examines the Belgian government's group expulsion of Romani asylum seekers from Slovakia in October 2000, following press hysteria and racist pronouncements by leading Belgian politicians. The human rights situation in Roma in Slovakia is analysed, and the Belgian government's narrow interpretation of its obligations towards asylum seekers under international law is outlined. It goes on to assess the negative impact of the Belgian cas…

Ethnic mobilisation and the political conditionality of European Union accession: The case of the Roma in Slovakia
In recent years the European Union (EU) has applied its 'political' criteria for accession as an instrument to positively influence policies on minority issues in the candidate member states of central Europe. This essay explores the impact of the EU enlargement process on the political experiences of the Roma communities in Slovakia. Based on fieldwork observations, it is argued that although the EU's minority protection criterion has stimulated…
