National Minorities and European Union Accession: A Consideration of Communist Legacies and EU Conditionality in Central and Eastern Europe Abstract The fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe prompted Western Europe to integrate the region with European Union (EU) expansion. The collapse of the Eastern bloc was concerning to the West, which viewed the nationalist tensions in the region as having the potential to trigger destabilization and conflict. This thesis evaluates the treatment of Hungarian national minorities in three states that eventually joined the EU: Slovakia, Romania, and Slovenia. Marxist-Leninist legacies, in combination with democratization and EU membership, determined key differences in state compliance with EU national minority recommendations in the wake of membership. I identify how both communist-era legacies and European Union accession have shaped the treatment of national minorities – specifically Hungarian minorities – in each of the three cases. There are, however, additional variables that may shape majority and minority sentiment, and compliance with European Union conditionality. These are primarily domestic: the keenness of the state to achieve EU integration; the position of the state emerging from communism; the duration of EU accession; the relative size of the national minority group; and pre-communist historical events. The combination of domestic and international variables suggest that European Union conditionality is not sufficiento t understand national minority group treatment; rather, it is a combination of international pressure and domestic state politics that influences how national minority rights are granted, maintained, or regress.

Throughout my time at Penn, I have been blessed by countless individuals who have supported me academically, financially, and personally. I would first like express my deepest gratitude to my thesis advisor, Dr. Brendan O’Leary. His mentorship and steadfast guidance throughout the course of my research continued to push me to explore my passions in the field. Dr. O’Leary’s honest advice, constructive criticism, and encouragement have challenged me to become better, not only academically and professionally, but personally. I feel so honored to have been able to work under his guidance. I would also like to recognize and thank Dr. Eileen Doherty-Sil. Her humor and open door for conversation have always been a great reassurance to me and many of her students. This thesis would not have been possible without her constant support and care. In addition to both Dr. O’Leary and Dr. Doherty-Sil, I would like to thank the Department of Political Science at Penn. The classes and professors I learned from during my time as a student have been incredibly formative in shaping my passions and my worldview. This research would also not have been possible without the support of the Center for the Study of Ethnicity, Race, and Immigration. The funding I received through the CSERI Truman- Schulman Undergraduate Fellowship enabled me to travel to Brussels, Belgium to conduct research. While there, I was able to gain research experience and visit the Historical Archives of the European Commission and the European Commission’s Library and eResources. I must furthermore express my gratitude to the Archival Assistants and Librarians at both the Historical Archives of the European Commission and the European Commission’s Library and eResources. Their gracious assistance and accommodation during my visits immensely helped me in my data collection. In addition to their assistance, I would also like to acknowledge and thank Mr. Bob Deen, who was willing to share his experiences as Senior Adviser at the OSCE High Commissioner for National Minorities. Lastly, I must acknowledge those who have sustained me personally. I first thank God; His steadfast guidance and love have continued to be with me throughout all of my life. I also remain forever indebted to my parents, Joseph and Winnie, and my two older brothers, Caleb and David. They have exemplified how to live a life by faith, hard work, and love for others. Without their unwavering love and encouragement to pursue my highest aspirations, I would not have become the person I am today. This thesis is dedicated to them. 3 Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................... 2 Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................................... 3 List of Maps .................................................................................................................................. 5 Glossary and Terminology .......................................................................................................... 6 List of Abbreviations .................................................................................................................. 10 Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 11 Contribution and Hypothesis – National Minorities in Central and Eastern Europe: A Review – Data and Methods The Establishment of the Hungarian National Minority Diaspora ....................................... 20 The 1910 Austro-Hungarian Census – The Treaty of Trianon – Slovakia: National Minority Treatment after the Treaty of Trianon – Romania: National Minority Treatment after the Treaty of Trianon – Slovenia: National Minority Treatment after the Treaty of Trianon World War II and Post-War Communism .............................................................................. 28 World War II – Slovakia: World War II and Communist Repression – Romania: World War II and Increasing Repression Under Communism – Slovenia:

    About the author: Prof. Rastislava STOLIČNÁ – rod. MIKOLAJOVÁ, PhD. She studied ethnology at the Faculty of Philosophy Comenius University in Bratislava. She is a senior researcher at the Institute of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and a visiting professor at the Silesian University in Poland. She belongs to the generation of researches who elaborated the fundamental works of Slovak ethnology: “Ethnographic Atlas of Slovakia” (1990), “Encyclopedia of Folk Culture of Slovakia I. II.” (1995) and the monograph “Slovakia – European Contexts of Folk Culture (1997, 2007 in English). She specializes in the study of the culinary culture of Slovaks. She has publishes several books, dozens of scientific papers and popular articles and was the author of the exhibition in the Slovak National Museum “Tastes and Scents of Slovakia” (2007) The National Cuisine of Slovaks The term national cuisine of Slovaks means, first of all, the culinary culture of people living in the countryside and small towns who considered themselves to be of the Slovak ethnicity, as since the Middle Ages larger cities of Slovakia were populated mostly by Germans, Hungarians and Jews whose cuisines differed and originated in a different social and cultural context. In the 19th century, the culinary cultures of the rural and urban worlds started to grow closer due to the development of trade, the first phase of modernization of housing and changes in kitchen equipment. Many people from the country started to work in factories and in cities. Exchange of information was more intense and first cookbooks were published. In spite of these facts, up to these days the Slovak cuisine has not lost its unique rural character by which it differs from the cuisines of neighboring countries.

According to § 2 the Slovak National Council obtained responsibility for the „provision of the favorable conditions for the economic and cultural life of the citizens of Hungarian and Ukrainian ethnicity.“ 1 However, there was still in power the so called “Ninth-of-May Constitution” adopted in 1948, according to which Czechoslovakia was described as the “national state, free from the all hostile elements, friendly living in the family of Slavic states and in the friendship with all peaceful nations in the world”. However, the preamble of Constitution defined respective “hostile elements” as the “descendents of the foreign colonists settled with us and, enjoying all democratic rights, in accordance with our constitution, together with us.” They were accused of the assistance in the “malicious aggression against our peaceful state” in 1938. Therefore the minorities were still treated as a hostile element within the Czechoslovak society, although the ethnic Hungarians received their civil rights back at the end of 1948.

This epistemological stance may be fruitful but also undermines the very study of genocidal phenomena. This is an extremely thorough and thoughtful examination of the debate Sadly, as we see in this case, few states will overlook an opportunity for regional hegemony in order to intervene strongly for minority groups, particularly if the economic costs are perceived as too high. Sign in Don't already have an Oxford Academic account? Review of R. Email: akitroef haverford. Modern European History Seminar Blog. Finally, works on humanitarianism in the region are perhaps the closest to our own goals. The Making of the Greek Genocide examines how the idea of the "Greek genocide" emerged as a contested cultural trauma with nationalist and cosmopolitan dimensions. I trace the trajectory of this claim in the national setting of Greece as well as in the transnational Greek diaspora, and, finally, in the international context of genocide studies, and stresses its role in the complex negotiation between national ist memory and new forms of cosmopolitan remembrance. As is well known, a Romanian national movement developed in the nineteenth century, as a process accompanying the formation of an independent state alongside several others in Central and Southeastern Europe.
