Description
The Institute for Ethnic Studies is the successor of the Minority Institute, which in the years 1925-1941 functioned in Ljubljana as one of the first research institutions of its kind in the world, mostly dealing with the status of Slovenes in the neighbouring countries, and of German and Hungarian minorities in Slovenia. When the Slovene territory was occupied, the Institute was "liquidated lest its materials should fall into the hands of occupiers". Yet as early as January 1944, in the liberated territory, the Scientific Institute was founded within the Executive Committee of the Liberation Front; this institute for border issues by1948 transformed into the Institute for Ethnic Studies. From 1948 to 1956, the Institute functioned within the frames of the University in Ljubljana, whilw from then on it has been an independent scientific institution. The IES, the oldest research institute in minority and ethnic studies in Europe, traditionally studies the following issues: - ethnicity, ethnic relations and conflicts, nationalism, borders - the Slovene national question, - national minorities, especially the position and status of national and ethnic minorities in Slovenia and of the Slovene ethnic communities in Italy, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and other successor states of the former Yugoslavia, - migrations, position and status of immigrants, migration and integration policies, - international regulation and protection of human rights, especially the rights of national minorities, - case studies and comparative studies of ethnicity in Europe and worldwide, - theory and methodology of ethnic studies, etc. (Art. 9 of the IES Statute, Programme) Since 1960, the IES has been publishing the journal Razprave in gradivo/Treatises and Documents, as the only Slovene specialized journal for ethnic issues.
