“…Predstavniške organizacije, združenja, zveze in društva, ki omogočajo manjšinskim narodnim skupnostim, da upravljajo različne vidike svojega družbenega življenja brez poseganja narodne večine, pogosto združujemo pod skupnim imenom "krovne organizacije" 2 (Komac & Roter 2015;Weller 2010, 497). Organizacijsko in vsebinsko oblike krovnosti praviloma niso strankarske narave.…”

“…Organizacijsko in vsebinsko oblike krovnosti praviloma niso strankarske narave. Lahko so javnega tipa, če jih predvideva uradni akt, kot na primer ustava ali zakon, ali pa izraz civilne družbe, če gre za združenje državljanov (Komac & Roter 2015). Krovne organizacije združujejo različne organizacije narodne skupnosti, ki so po eni strani samostojne na ravni svojih pravilnikov, delovanja in članstva, po drugi strani pa delujejo usklajeno, ko gre za soočanje z večinskimi institucijami in javnimi odnosi (Vertovec 1996, citirano v Karademir 2018 ter za predstavljanje manjšin v javnem, družbenem in političnem življenju.…”

“…Ponekod pa so te vezi med krovnimi organizacijami in državo manj formalizirane oziroma bolj razrahljane, kot v navedenem primeru italijanske skupnosti v Sloveniji, kjer sobivata dve obliki krovnosti -formalna in zakonsko določena krovnost Obalne samoupravne skupnosti in neformalna, vendar obče sprejeta krovnost Italijanske unije (prim. Komac & Roter 2015).…”

From a theoretical point of vhew the authors highlight important aspects of the role of umbrella organizations as a view of political participation of national minorities.

Can Non-Territorial Autonomy Help to Enforce the Linguistic, Cultural and Educational Rights of the Roma?

Realising Linguistic, Cultural and Educational Rights Through Non-Territorial Autonomy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Racist and discriminatory policies against the Roma persist in both eastern and western Europe. Methods of repression have varied over time, but it is striking that strategies of open or tacit discrimination and expulsion of the Roma are still found in some contemporary policies of the older and transitional democracies, in EU Member States and countries that are candidates for EU membership. Of major concern is the fact that xenophobic statements and actions against the Roma often come from leading politicians or from national governments. Additionally, despite various international and regional human rights instruments, the ongoing structural discrimination that the Roma face has not yet been addressed within the existing legal framework. Many of the measures that have been proposed to address social exclusion and marginalisation are largely unenforceable; they tend to overlook the harsh living conditions, lack of access to public services, low level of education and embedded prejudice against the Roma. This paper addresses the human rights violability of cultures commonly marginalised in society. In many cases, although human rights protection regimes are enacted for certain cultures, the measures do not encompass groups that are non-dominant and territorially dispersed. The case of the Roma exemplifies not only this situation in respect of their language, cultural and educational rights in Spain and in North Macedonia, but also how the establishment and implementation of possible non-territorial autonomy (NTA) arrangements can help to overcome lasting discrimination. There is no unique model of NTA since it is applied differently in different contexts and circumstances. However, in essence, NTA arrangements can help minorities to enjoy cultural or other activities without territorial limitation. NTA can thus support the protection of territorially dispersed cultures and alleviate some of the harsh practices that they face.

The Elections to Nonterritorial Autonomies of Central and South Eastern Europe

In managing ethno-cultural diversity, several countries in Central and Eastern Europe refer to the notion of nonterritorial/cultural autonomy in their legislation and policies, and in some of them, namely Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Serbia, and Slovenia, registered minority voters are granted the right to create their own representational, consultative, or decision-making bodies by direct or indirect elections. While a growing body of literature has examined the functioning of these elected minority councils/self-governments at various levels, numerous features of their elections have not been addressed. Elections, commonly understood as formal group decision-making processes, may fulfill various functions both in theory and practice, and these are highly context-dependent. In this regard, little is known about the role played by minority elections in intra-community relations, and whether and how these elections can contribute to increasing legitimacy and accountability and strengthening the political weight and influence of the respective minority groups. This article seeks to address these issues. Written from a theoretical perspective, but based on electoral statistics and country experiences, it comparatively explores the main issues related to the special minority elections in the five countries of analysis and assesses whether they can be considered successful forms of diversity management.
