Extract

Ethnic Politics in Europe: The Power of Norms and Incentives. By Judith G. Kelley. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2004. 264p. $35.00.

The subject of this study by Judith Kelley is the international factor in ethnic minority politics—the role of external institutions and norms in the democratic development of several countries and the policies regarding their ethnic minorities. These institutions, more specifically the European Union, the Council of Europe (CE), and the European Security Conference, have secured commitments and undertakings from national governments regarding human rights in general and the protection of minority groups in particular. This is especially true of the CE, which has admitted a number of states on the basis of promises only.
