National Cultural Autonomy: Russia's Model, the Tatars and Ethno- Cultural Education (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the concept of National Cultural Autonomy (NCA) within the context of Russia, particularly focusing on the Tatar community and the realm of ethno-cultural education. Rooted in Karl Renner's theory, the NCA model aims to ensure the cultural rights of nations regardless of territory. However, the practical implementation of NCA in Russia is critiqued through the examination of the Consultative Council on National Cultural Autonomies, highlighting issues of limited participation and effectiveness in policy-making for minorities.
