Abstract
This book is the result of the concentrated ef− forts of dozens of experts in minority issues in Slovakia. It is published at a time when the European Commission, after successfully wrapping up the integration process, is ask− ing Slovakia to increase its efforts to find positive solutions for the problems of the Roma, as well as for the corruption that ex− ists in all walks of life. This pressure from the international community to solve the “Roma issue” is easy to understand. It is not just that in failing to solve the important questions related to the Roma, Slovakia will cast doubt on the positive steps it has taken towards lib− eral democracy and a mature economy; nor does the issue merely involve a utilitarian attempt by the European Union to force a de− manding solution from a future member state. The most important motive remains the fact that problems related to the ethnicization of poverty, social exclusion, and the marginalization of minorities are very famil− iar in most post industrial countries. Slovakia too cannot avoid making fundamental changes in the approach it has hitherto taken to the Roma issue. This book speaks of the potential that Slovakia has to launch these changes.
