| Title | Framing of "Roma" in the Roma Policies of Bulgaria: A Frame Analysis of the National Roma Integration Strategies of Bulgaria (1999-2012) |
| Summary | The notion of “Roma” appears to be one of the most complex notions used in today’s public policies. In policies, the single label of “Roma” serves to designate various issues of minority rights, social exclusion, and equality. The numerous debates among academics and policy makers on what should be called “Roma” and what not, have led to separate policy results. Employing the Critical Frame Analysis Approach, this thesis analyzes the framing of the “Roma” category in the National Roma Integration Strategies in Bulgaria, to find out what the Roma problem is represented to be. The findings show that the “Roma” issue is formulated mostly as a socio-economic one: an implication that further reinforces the discrimination against Roma instead of helping them. Keywords: Roma, Bulgaria, Roma policies, Roma representations, policy framing of Roma |
