The Hungarian Minority of Transylvania gives an overview of the Hungarian minority's situation
between the end of Communism and Romania's entry into the EU. In the historical foreword the
author sets the scenes while re-creating the dialectic relation between both nations. The
author also provides a theoretical background on minority rights with the goal to define to
which minority sub-category belongs the Hungarian minority of Romania. The third section of the
study reviews the minority rights legislation in force in Romania in 1990-2007 (international
texts bilateral treaties Romanian legislation). The last chapter presents an overview of the
situation in the field using reports by international human rights organisations local NGOs
and civil rights activists.
