Subtle forms of racism in strategy documents concerning Roma inclusion
journal contribution
posted on 2019-06-20, 09:53 authored by Salomea Popoviciu, Cristian TileagaCristian TileagaThis paper explores the ways in which national governments address the social inclusion of
disadvantaged and disenfranchised groups in official strategy documents of the state. Data for
this study comes from a corpus of four key government strategy papers concerning Roma
inclusion published by the Romanian Government between 2001 and 2015. This paper
specifically looks at the ways in which strategy documents frame the problem of “crime” in
the context of Roma inclusion. Texts were analysed using a critical frame analysis approach
complemented by insights from discursive research. The findings highlight that although
generally government policy on the Roma adopts and promotes a progressive/liberal agenda
that aligns with EU strategic goals, pronounced ambivalence toward Roma people and subtle
forms of racism are still present and persist.
