Ongoing crises like the return of war to Europe, economic hardships, and the illiberal challenge raise worries about minority-majority relations anew, while one can hardly expect the adoption of strong pro-minority reforms in the short run. Innovative solutions are needed that strengthen minority rights while remain politically realistic. MINOTEE builds on the trend that, faced with limits of current approaches to legal enforcement, European institutions have been experimenting with forms of collective redress. The logic and benefits of this type of remedy are relevant to guarantee minority rights, but its potential is understudied. I argue that more reliance on collective redress should ensure better enforcement and can work independently from major pro-minority reforms. By drawing from methods in legal studies and political science, MINOTEE would open up novel understandings of how opportunities shaped by ethnic bargaining positions and perceptions of power relations play out in legal procedures and beyond. Open-ended, this new approach should gauge the impacts of aggregation while delving into the actor-based dynamics that empower minorities against the lack of rights enforcement. The research will explore how collective enforcement shapes questions of representation and costs, improves evidence, triggers organization, builds agency. Building on insights from early cases of minority reparation, e.g. Holocaust cases, and seeking to develop solutions that are applicable for a range of minorities, the research will focus on a limited set of cases: Roma and Hungarian minorities in Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania will be studied, also allowing to assess how collective redress mechanisms can play out amid rule of law challenges. MINOTEE will develop proposals on how European institutions could adopt regulation on collective redress mechanisms to mark a leap in minority rights enforcement, ultimately promoting effectiveness in ways that are tangible in local settings.
