Summary/Abstract: This article critically analyzes minority and majority rhetoric in postcommunist Romania with the purpose of uncovering the key factors that have shaped discourse and practice on minority language and education rights toward relatively accommodating stances. A second level of research examines the limits in the majority’s willingness to compromise on the extension the legal-institutional minority rights framework beyond the “autonomy threshold”.
