Předběžná náplň práce

Regional and Cohesion Policy is the EU's most operational and
close-citizen development policy, with visible results. However,
with interdependent economic, social, and territorial dimensions,
impact of Cohesion Policy (CP) in various regions and social
groups has become a contested subject recently. Besides, a
particular importance has been given to promoting social
cohesion in recent years as a result of successful enlargement
waves and economic financial crisis that have brought significant
socioeconomic imbalances across social groups including
marginalised communities and minorities. CP has broadened its
scope to include more social issues and human rights in line with
EU strategies in recent years, despite the fact that it does not
directly reflect a minority policy. As a result, combating with social
exclusion and promoting social inclusion with focus on minorities
and vulnerable groups has become CP’s primary objectives during
the last two programming periods. Therefore, this study examines
social inclusion objective of CP in a particular minority region,
Western Thrace of Greece, where the Turkish minority exist.
Focusing on two main criteria of social inclusion, active
participation to socioeconomic and public life and access to
resources, services and rights, this study aims to reveal to what
extend CP is operational in Western Thrace in terms of social
inclusion of the Turkish minority. In terms of criterion active
participation and access, the 2007-13 and 2014-20 programming
periods were compared, while multiple features of the research
criterion revealed how CP is operational in minority regions in
terms of social inclusion. Empirical research has found that social
v
inclusion of the Turkish minority in terms of active participation
and access has been limited for both periods, while minority policy
of Greece and contested subjects between the minority and state,
regarding minority rights have had great impact on social inclusion
policies.
