| Title | Power, legitimacy, and collective policy making: the case study of feryp and ternype roma youth networks |
| Summary | The Roma represent Europes largest transnational minority. Since the Roma are mainly composed of young people, the intent of a well comprehension of their impact within the Romani movement is essential. To that end, this thesis represents a qualitative research centered around the two most prominent Roma youth Transnational Advocacy Networks, the Forum of European Roma Young People and the International Roma youth network ternYpe. This thesis answers the questions How are FERYP and ternYpe placing themselves as relevant actors in the EU representing the issues faced by Roma youth? and How can these two entities enhance their power and legitimacy for creating a sustainable context for Collective Policy Making on a EU level? and confirms its hypothesis that due to the fact that these are the most prestigious entities representing Roma youth interests on a European level, they do in fact possess a great deal of significance, however, they do not adequately use their power as actors within the transnational policy-making realm. |
