European Race Audit Briefing Papers

Briefing papers on the rise of racism and fascism in Europe

The IRR's European Race Audit (ERA) is now publishing regular free online briefing papers which are available as part of subscriptions to the IRR News Service. The ERA is one of the few sources of comprehensive pan-European information on racism, the extreme Right and Islamophobia. It also documents the erosion of human rights as a result of asylum and immigration law and civil liberties and as a result of the war on terror. The European Race Audit was launched in 1991 and its huge archive - of over sixty Bulletins on pan-European race and refugee issues - is an invaluable source of information for students, researchers and campaigners.

Some of the topics covered:

• Asylum and immigration
• Policing and the state
• Racial violence and fascist parties
• Persecution of Roma
• Refugee rights

The free Briefing Papers are available online and also as an email newsletter, with full customisation to allow you to select countries and subjects of relevance. To have Bulletin articles emailed to your inbox according to your selection criteria, subscribe to the IRR News service and select the European countries you are interested in.
