The European Minority Rights Regime

Evaluates the nature of the international governance of minority rights in the context of the enlargement of the European Union. This book examines the origin and development of the European Minority Rights Regime paying particular attention to the institutions, policies and actions of European organisations.

'Galbreath and McEvoy offer a very insightful analysis of the European minority rights regime. Theoretically well-grounded and empirically substantiated at impressive levels of detail, this is a significant contribution to our understanding of the impact of international regimes in general and the dynamics of minority rights protection in Europe in particular.'

• Stefan Wolff, Professor of International Security, Department of Political Science and International Studies, University of Birmingham, UK
