Diversity recognition and minority representation in Central and Southeast Europe: a comparative analysis

Abstract: The need to handle ethnocultural diversity and the external pressures of Euro-Atlantic integration have led to the development of complex minority rights regimes in Central and Southeast European states. The aim of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis of the political representation dimension of these regimes, and to investigate how the regulations in this domain are related to the more general attitude of states toward diversity recognition and registration. For this purpose, we classify the states… Show more

“…This perspective follows a broadly neo‐institutionalist logic, whereby early and foundational institutional choices, along with the associated ideational context, structure subsequent choices and dynamics (for an overview, see Lecours ; Beland and Cox ). This dual focus also follows the method of Szekely and Horvath (), who examine the relationship between broader state approaches to the recognition of diversity and specific measures of minority representation through the electoral system in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. Through a study of constitutional arrangements and legislative schemes, they show how a state's approach to diversity recognition, categorised as promoting either a dominant ethnicity, a civic identity or the accommodation of diversity, is correlated to the representation of minorities, categorised as restrictive, neutral or facilitating representation (, p. 439).…”

Similarly, Krook and O'Brien show that recognition and representation are closely linked – they find that the early recognition of group identity in the design of state institutions is linked to the presence of more specific electoral mechanisms facilitating their representation (, p. 269).…”
