Assessing ethnic vitality in the border area along the Slovenian-Croatian border: selected settlement areas of minority populations
The project will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from three institutions in two countries, led by the Institute for Ethnic Studies (Ljubljana), the central institution for the study of ethnic issues in Slovenia. With the cooperation of the institute’s unit in Lendava (Prekmurje), the University of Primorska (Istria), and the central Croatian Institute for Migration and Ethnicity (Zagreb), the project will enable and provide a new wide range of data concerning various aspects of ethnicity. Based on the processing and exchange of data, findings, and analysis results, the scientific and research community will benefit significantly from a set of comparative data that has been missing since the 2002 census and is common practice elsewhere (e.g., Schleswig-Holstein, Friesland, Vojvodina, southwestern Slovakia, Ruthenia, Wallonia).
