Nemzeti és etnikai kisebbségi közösségek, mint az európai fejlesztéspolitika tényezői és erőforrásai
Native ethnic minority communities as factors and resources of the European development policy

Summary/Abstract: This study seeks to determine whether those engaged in development-oriented European policy interpret native ethnic minority communities and their values as development resources. It examines literature in the fields of anthropology and economic sociology that makes hypotheses or claims in this regard. This study’s empirical research consists of an analysis of more than a hundred development policy planning documents of the EU and its member states, primarily since 2014. Only a small portion of these documents mentions native ethnic minority communities and generally does so without specific reference to development. When they do discuss these communities in the context of development, it is usually only to identify problems and development needs and only very rarely to identify resources and potentials. This study found only a few good policy efforts: Hungary’s regional development concepts and the EU’s Territorial Agendas.
