Abstract
AT EUROPEAN LEVEL THERE IS A TENDENCY TO MANAGE THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE ROMA MINORITY COMPLEXITY, CONTEXT WHICH IS AMPLIFIED BY THE MIGRATION PHENOMENON. IN THIS ARTICLE ARE EXPOSED THE DIMENSIONS OF VULNERABILITY OF ROMA FROM A PERSPECTIVE THAT IS ORIENTED TO RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR IMPLEMENTING THE NEW COORDINATED EUROPEAN ROMA SOCIAL INCLUSION FRAMEWORK. IN THIS RESPECT, THE CHALLENGE FOR MEMBER STATES IS NOT ONLY TO FORMULATE AND MONITOR EFFECTIVE AND COHERENT ROMA POLICIES, AND APPROPRIATE MEASURES TAKEN, BUT TO PROPOSE A SOLID CONSTRUCTION AND DURABLE CAPABILITIES OF SOCIAL INCLUSION OF THE ROMA MINORITY IN THE MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. THUS, IT IS PROPOSED TO RETHINK THE CONCEPT OF SUITABLE DIMENSIONS OF CAPABILITIES OF ROMA SOCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND IMPACT OF PUBLIC POLICIES ADOPTED IN THIS REGARD AND BY REPOSITIONING THE MAIN ASPECTS OF ACTIVE INTEGRATION OF THE ROMA IN EUROPE.
