| Abstract [eng] |
Lithuanian ethnic minorities during the last two decades experienced difficult changes in perception of their status in Lithuanian society. The aim of this chapter is to reveal the changes of ethnic politics and nowadays situation of ethnic minorities through their own understanding. The newest results from the representative quantitative survey of Lithuanian population’ opinions and results from previous surveys (in order to follow dynamics of opinion changes) serve as an empirical basis for such analysis. The chapter provides the comparison of Lithuanians and the ethnic minorities’ evaluation of previous, current and future political, economic and social situation, opinion on ethnic tolerance and protection of human rights, perception of their social situation and life quality. The comparison reveals the differences of such perceptions what can be explained by different status of ethnic minorities and prevailing public discourse. |
