1. INTRODUCTION
The Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy at Queen's University is
organizing a multi- year, research project on citizenship, democracy
and minority rights in multiethnic states, under the direction of
Prof. Will Kymlicka. As part of this project, the Forum distributes
a quarterly newsletter updating recent developments in the field, of
which this is the sixteenth issue. We hope that it will be of
interest to anyone working in the field, whether in academia, public
service, or various non-governmental organizations.
If you know anyone who would like to be added to the mailing list for
this newsletter, or if you would like copies of the back-issues,
please contact us at [email protected]. For further
information about the research project, you can also reach us by fax

7. RELATED RESEARCH PROGRAMS
The Carnegie Corporation of New York has started a new grantmaking
initiative on "The Contending Norms of Self-Determination and the
Sanctity of Existing International Boundaries". How can we address
the age-old problem of reconciling attempts by the state to preserve
the sanctity of its territorial borders and its sovereign authority
within them with the desire of constituent national groups to assert
their particular claims for self-determination? Old models for
resolving this dilemma face new challenges, including destabilizing
demographic shifts, evolving notions of sovereignty and revolutionary
technological change. The Corporation is particularly interested in
proposals which extend the reach of existing scholarship or advance
new approaches to addressing ongoing or emerging self-determination
struggles. Relevant topics include internal political structures, the
implications of globalization, and external intervention. For more
information, including deadlines for submitting proposals, contact
Stephen Del Rosso, Senior Program Officer, International Peace and
Security Program, Carnegie Corporation of New York, 437 Madison
Avenue, New York NY 10022. Tel: 212-207-6238; email: [email protected]
Greek Helsinki Monitor, in cooperation with Minority Rights
Group-Greece, has launched a project on Human and Minority Rights in
Southeast Europe. This is part of the larger framework of the Centre
for Documentation and Information of Minorities in Europe (CEDIME).
CEDIME aims to contribute, through the commitment of researchers and
intellectuals, to the peaceful resolution of the problems and
conflicts, which often characterize relations between minorities and
majorities. Its purpose is to create the first comprehensive source
of information on human and minority rights in Southeast Europe. The
project aims to provide three types of information: (1) presentation
of all ethnonational, ethnolinguistic, and religious minorities in
Southeast Europe; (2) guide to all documents on human and minority
rights in Southeast Europe; (3) reports from daily monitoring of the
major print media in each country on neighbouring countries, peoples,
and minorities within each country. The site of the CEDIME project is
expected to be a major reference source for policy makers, activists,
journalists, and researchers. For further information on the
CEDIME-SE project, contact Panayote Elias Dimitras, Director of
CEDIME, P.O. Box 51 393, GR-14510 Kifisia, Greece; tel: 30-4-62-0120;

Two new master's degrees have recently been established that may be of
interest:
(1) A new master's degree program has been established in Budapest,
called the "European Master on Minority Rights". This initiative,
sponsored by the Council of Europe, reflects the increasing need to
prepare experts and teachers on Minority Rights for international
organizations, universities, government departments and NGOs. The
one-year curriculum provides an interdisciplinary setting for both
classical topics on minorities and newly emerging issues. Graduates
receive a degree from the Robert Schumann University. For further
information, contact Solange Eggermont, International Foundation for
Promoting Studies and Knowledge of Minority Rights, Normafa Utca
26-28, H-1121 Budapest, Hungary; tel/fax: 36-1-395-1044; e-mail;
[email protected]
(2) A new master's degree program has been established in Venice,
called the "European Master's Degree in Human Rights and
Democratization". This initiative, sponsored by the European Union,
was established in 1997, and involves the cooperation of 15 European
universities. It addresses issues of human rights and democratization
from both an operational and policy perspective. Graduates receive a
degree from the University of Padua. For more information, contact the
University of Padua tel: 39-049-8273685; fax: 39-049-8273684; email:
