Is the European Union relevant to the Roma community?

A fascinating but troubled community is struggling to survive in a virtually borderless Europe. But there seems to be no place for the wanderers of the world - the statelessness that characterizes the Roma community, instead of making the issue a pan - European responsibility, puts the blame and the burden on the shoulders of the poor Eastern European states, countries with large numbers of Romani origin citizens. The troubles surrounding the Roma community, addressed in this study, issues that demand a bold response, led to endless debates that could be of interest to both scholars and the general readers. The case of the Roma community is an interesting contemporary reference in all aspects of human rights, education, poverty, xenophobia, women's rights, law, European Union politics, membership conditionality, europeanization and EU enlargement.
