Ethnopolitical Encyclopaedia of Europe

The Ethnopolitical Encyclopaedia of Europe is the first work of its kind that systematically and rigorously examines the politics of ethnicity throughout the continent as a whole. Rather than indulge in a tour of Europe designed to unearth as many diverse population groups as possible, the Encyclopaedia is focused and serves as a unique data source on the continent's politically mobilized ethnic groups. In order to facilitate easy access, the various regions of Europe are assessed and then the nature of the politics of ethnicity is analyzed on a country-by-country basis. The combination of incisive entries, maps, tables and easy-to-use country guides makes this an invaluable reference book for both academics and practitioners.

'This is the most crucial work of reference on the politics of ethnicity in Europe that has emerged over the past decade.' - Marc Weller, Director, European Centre for Minority Issues, Germany

'I am very impressed by the comprehensive, very readable, and well integrated character of the book. It will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the make-up of contemporary Europe.' - Andre Liebich, Professor of International History and Politics, Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva

'An indispensable reference for students of comparative ethnic politics in Europe.' - Michael Hechter, Professor of Sociology, University of Washington, Seattle, USA

'Karl Cordell and Stephan Wolff should be proud of their results, since they can open new fields of interdisciplinary research and inspire new generations of students'. - Yves Laberge, Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism

'This book is highly relevant for many disciplines in universities throughout the UK and Europe and is recommended for every university library.' - Máiréad Nic Craith, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies
