Description

A Task for Sisyphus examines why Roma policies across Europe have consistently failed despite growing EU and government investment and commitment. Drawing on research from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Romania, this book by Central European University Press reveals the fundamental miscalculations and misconceptions undermining policy implementation. The author demonstrates how policymakers have struggled with basic definitional issues around "Roma" identity, lacked meaningful evaluation frameworks to assess progress, and mishandled already confused EU directives. The analysis challenges assumptions about alleged policy successes, uncovering how poor information collection and selective reporting have masked ongoing systemic failures. This critical examination provides essential insights into why billions in funding and countless initiatives have failed to improve Roma living conditions across the region.

Key Features

Analyses policy failures across Hungary, Czech Republic, and Romania with detailed case studies of EU Roma initiatives.

Identifies key misconceptions, from definitional ambiguities to absent evaluation mechanisms, that undermine European Roma policies.

Exposes how alleged policy successes were built on poor information gathering and sometimes deliberate misrepresentation.

Published by Central European University Press, offering academic rigour on a critical social policy issue.

Explores systemic contradictions between EU directives and national implementation at the political and bureaucratic level.
