Project description
 

An analysis of the human rights practice for Roma and Gypsy travellers, aiming to understand the implementation process of human rights, using a multi-actor- and multilevel approach and discourse analysis. The findings will be framed within the debate on cosmopolitan citizenship, focusing on themes as inclusion vs. exclusion, and the tensions between global, national and local level.
