THE PROTECTION OF THE ROMANI LANGUAGE AND THE ITINERANT LIFESTYLE OF ROMA MINORITIES: A FUZZY APPROACH TO THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Serena Baldin

Abstract


The purpose of this article is to analyze the legal protection of Roma minorities living in the member States of the
European Union, with particular reference to the safeguard of the Romani language and the itinerant lifestyle. Roma
are widespread in all Europe and their legal status may serve to test the degree of acceptance of the models of minority
protection in a wide perspective. The investigation uses a so-called fuzzy approach at the comparative stage, which
seems necessary to justify at methodological level the comparison of Roma groups. As this paper will try to show, the
fuzzy logic is a relevant epistemological tool for comparative lawyers, in particular for taxonomic proposals.
