      abstract = {This book addresses the legal feasibility of ethnic data  collection and positive action for equality and  anti-discrimination purposes, and considers how they could  be used to promote the Roma minoritys inclusion in Europe.  The books central aim is to research how a societal problem  can be improved upon from a legal perspective. The  controversy surrounding ethnic data collection and positive  action severely limits their use at the national level.  Accordingly, legal and political concerns are analysed and  addressed in order to demonstrate that it is possible to  collect such data and to implement such measures while  fully respecting international and European human rights  norms, provided that certain conditions are met. Part I  focuses on ethnic data collection and explores the key  rules and principles that govern it, the ways in which this  equality tool could be used, and how potential obstacles  might be overcome. It also identifies and addresses the  specific challenges that arise when collecting ethnic data  on the Roma minority in Europe. In turn, Part II explores  positive action and the broad range of measures covered by  the concept, before analysing the applicable international  and European framework. It reviews the benefits and  challenges of implementing positive action for Roma,  identifies best practices, and gives special consideration  to inter-cultural mediation in the advancement of Roma  inclusion. The book concludes with an overview of the main  findings on both topics and by identifying three essential  elements that must be in place, in addition to full respect  for the applicable legal rules, in order to combat  discrimination and achieve the inclusion of Roma in Europe  by complementing existing anti-discrimination frameworks  with the collection of ethnic data and the implementation  of positive action schemes.},
