Globalizing Minority Rights

Globalizing Minority Rights

GMR (2016-2021) project's aim was to develop a cosmopolitan approach to the conceptualization, justification, and implementation of minority rights, and to test this theoretical framework on three case studies: minorities in the developing world, indigenous peoples, and refugees.

GMR was organized under the Pluralism, Democracy, and Justice research group at the Department of Philosophy, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and led by Prof. Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and Associate Prof. Annamari Vitikainen. 

GMR was funded by The Research Council of Norway (NFR 259017), SAMKUL Program

The project was divided into six working packages. For more information, click here
