| Title | Prospects and Challenges of EU level Roma Inclusion Governance |
| Summary | The European Union has successfully used its agenda power to influence policy formation for Roma inclusion through the European Framework for Roma Inclusion Strategies. Nevertheless, the EU institutions are still exploring the legitimate means within the existing coordination and monitoring mechanisms to ensure effective implementation of the strategies by the Member States. This paper is aimed to identify the realized and expected outcomes of the European Roma inclusion policy framework and the main challenges for EU level governance in this policy field. The chances for “tangible impact on Roma” of the European Roma inclusion framework by 2020 depend on how effectively Member State governments and local actors can be mobilized to implement and the crucial actors within the EU institutions to follow-up on the national strategies. Since the Framework covers several policy areas which fall under national competences, mainstreaming of this policy issue into the relevant sectoral policies is real challenge on EU level governance. The puzzle explored in the paper is to what extent the current policy coordination mechanism can promote efficient policy implementation in the Member States. The paper analysis the conceptual frames, mechanisms and instruments of the EU level governance of Roma inclusion and points at certain aspects in which improvement could enhance the chances for efficient policy implementation and more effective use of EU funds for this cause in 2014-20. |
