<P><FONT face="Palatino Linotype">The course will deal with the complexities of
cultural diversity and minority protection in Europe mainly through discussion
of the protection mechanisms of the United Nations, the OSCE and the Council of
Europe with leading experts from these organizations. Moreover, the wide range
of linguistic, educational and political rights to be found in different
national constitutional systems will be explored. Particular attention will be
given to the concept of cultural diversity under EC law gaining more and more
significance beyond the context of minority protection.<BR><BR>This course is
part of the Master in European Integration and Regionalism, a postgraduate
programme offered by the University of Graz (www.kfunigraz.ac.at) and
implemented in cooperation with the European Academy of Bolzano
