It requires total commitment from everyone if it is going to work well and not leave segments of society permanently poor or disenfranchised. This book presents various models of minority participation in post-communist Europe based on the experiences of Hungarians in Slovakia and Romania, and Albanians in Macedonia. A New Balance examines to what degree these ethnic groups are integrated into governing coalitions.
