Walk the Line: The Impact of Boundary Politics on Identity and
Inequality One Hundred Years after the First World War
Budapest, Hungary, 19-25 July 2015
The Tom Lantos Institute (TLI) and the National University of Public
Service (NUPS) in cooperation with the Middlesex University London
(MU) and with the support of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and Trade are organising their third international Summer School on
Minority Rights with a special focus on the impact of boundary
politics on identity and inequality.
The Summer School will host 30 participants from all over the world
and offers a forum to discuss relevant issues related to minorities
with leading experts and practitioners in the field of international
human rights law, political science, sociology, and history.
Participants will study the multiple impacts of boundary changes on
identity and equality in the interwar period and today. Lectures and
interactive workshops will cover the following topics: a critical
assessment of the geopolitical perspective on boundary changes in
Europe; the impact of the peace treaties on national, ethnic,
linguistic and religious identities in Europe; boundary changes and
conflict resolution from a normative perspective (focus on Kurdistan
and Kosovo); the successful management of border communities in
Europe; current territorial debates in Europe (Scotland, Catalonia,
Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Crimea); the problem solving capacity of
autonomies in Central and Eastern Europe; the protection of minorities
in the Middle East; international and transnational approaches to
minority protection; the Roma in Europe; and, finally, identity
politics and equality.
The Summer School aims to:
· Understand and critically assess the relevant international
law and related practice on ethnic conflict resolution;
· Present and review existing practice on the management of
border communities in different regions of Europe;
· Understand and discuss the effectiveness of the
international minority protection regime with a particular focus on
identity politics and equality.
