Satisfying the Majority? Case Studies in Slovak Minority Policy 2006 – 2014
Journal Title: Annales Scientia Politica - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The study analyzes selected outcomes of the minority policy of the Slovak Republic between 2006 and 2014. By conducting a content analysis of three government manifestos (2006, 2010, 2012) and explanatory statements of three significant laws from this period, it shows that the measures approved by two executives (2006, 2012) aimed to satisfy the alleged demand of the majority for a more restrictive minority policy. The 2010 government made some effort towards more inclusive steps but its wavering political support prevented their effective implementation. The study also reviews the changes in the advisory institutions in this period which mirrored the overall approach to minority policy of the three executives.
