The aim of this work is to examine the emergence of the Romani transnational movement and its political approaches in the international arena, focusing their dilemmas over integration and self-determination.This research describes how some political ideas emerged from Romani activists and how the so called "Romani movement" was shaped.Despite being the largest European minority, the Gypsies are not represented adequately in the domestic political contexts of the countries they are living in.In face of marginalization and exclusion, Roma activists aim to protect Gypsies worlwide against discrimination and persecution by ensuring the exercise of their human rights.The Romani multiterritorial and multicultural condition poses an important challenge to the activists.The research also explores the identity and historical dimensions of the Gypsies in order to analyse the attempts and possibilities to forge a transnational Romani community.Finally, this work examines the possibility of unification through religion, coordinated by the Evangelical Romani movement from Western Europe as to understand its dramatic expansion through Romani networks, identifying its territorial approaches
