Annotated Bibliography of Research Based Papers Concerning Roma (1998-2006)

A tremendous amount of books, anthologies, articles, and conference papers on the Roma
population have appeared in the last few decades. This annotated bibliography was compiled as
background material for a roundtable discussion organized by the Center for Policy Studies at
the request of the Canadian Embassy in Hungary and Citizenship Immigration Canada (CIC).
The roundtable discussion Roma in Hungary: socio-economic status, human rights protection, and
migratory dynamics was held at CEU on September 20, 2006.
The annotated bibliography includes research based reports, findings and recommendations from
the last 5-7 years (noted here in chronological order), until 2006 December. Most adopt a broad
framework for analyzing Roma issues, which involves discussing the economic, political and legal
circumstances of Roma on a national, regional and local level. There are also pieces that employ a
comparative approach for assessing the situation of the Roma population living in Hungary.
