title = "Illusionary Inclusion of Roma Through Intercultural Mediation",
abstract = "K{\'o}cz{\'e} analyses the institutional development of the multi-country, joint mediation programme ROMED developed by the Council of Europe and the European Commission. She reflects on the design, ideology, rationale, and strategic function of this programme for {\textquoteleft}intercultural mediation{\textquoteright} and understands it as a development technique aimed at the {\textquoteleft}social inclusion{\textquoteright} of the Roma in Europe. The chapter draws on the contradictory and ambiguous institution of mediation. K{\'o}cz{\'e} provides a critique of ROMED from the perspective of developmentalism and securitization in Europe. She argues that the ROMED mediation programme, while officially aimed at empowering Roma communities and creating inclusive public institutions, builds on the prevalent discourse of the Roma as {\textquoteleft}underdeveloped{\textquoteright} cultural {\textquoteleft}others{\textquoteright}, and ignores the structural socio-racial and spatial inequalities underlying Roma marginalization.",
