Citizenship, official language, bilingual education in Latvia: public policy in the last 10 years
Zepa, Brigita |
|
This article aims to show the implementation of policies related to ethnic minorities' integration in Latvian society during the first 10 years of Latvia's independence. This aim was postulated because, on the one hand, Latvia is often being criticized for its ethnopolitics both by the EU and by leaders of local minorities. On the other hand, a successful resolution of issues related to ethnopolitics will strengthen Latvian internal stability, ethnic harmony, and open the door to the European Union. The aim of this article is based on the conviction that the analysis and evaluation of ethnopolitics is an important precondition for these policies' improvement, besides acquainting the public with these issues. |
