ELTE-UNESCO MINORITY STUDIES PROGRAM
Established in 1992 as an international two-year post graduate MA
program in sociology, the Ethnic and Minority Studies Program commenced
academic operation in the Fall of 1993. In 1997 the Program was
accepted
as a member of the UNESCO Chair Network, which means that it has become
an independent department at the Institute of Sociology, Eötvös Loránd
University (Budapest), under the name of the ELTE-UNESCO Minority
Studies Department.
The program aims include the following:
? to provide a systematic study of inter-ethnic relations, minority
problems and processes in post-communist societies within a comparative
perspective;
? to provide background in major trends in economy, politics, society,
social policy, social geography, and social psychology of the countries
in transition from state socialism;
? to train future policy makers or expert advisors in issues and
conflicts between regions, nations, ethnic groups, minorities, and
majorities in various parts of Europe;
? to train future scholars in sociology, socio-cultural anthropology,
political and ethnic studies, and social psychology, particularly those
who intend to carry out research or teach in and/or about East and
Central Europe.
