Abstract	Broad lines of argument deployed by international actors for improving the situation of Roma have included promoting human and minority rights; reducing economic costs of Roma exclusion; preventing ethnic conflict; and preventing migration from Eastern to Western Europe. Notwithstanding such considerable variation in the motivations which underlie policies targeting Roma populations, education has consistently occupied a central place. Educational policies and interventions are not only supposed to reduce educational inequalities between Roma and non-Roma, but are also meant to improve health, employment, political participation, and other social outcomes. Educational equality between Roma and non-Roma is hence perceived both as a value in itself and as a means to offer equal chances in other spheres of life. No other policy area has received as much political attention. The contributions to this issue reflect on developments in educational policy and practice in relation to Roma in the period from 2005 to 2015. The choice of time period is not arbitrary, but rather coincides with the duration of the Decade of Roma Inclusion (hereinafter "Decade"). This introduction accordingly frames the contributions to the special issue by presenting the Decade in context and design, also attempting a preliminary assessment of the Decade's institutional legacies. Following a brief overview of each contribution, the editorial outlines directions for research on the education of Roma in the aftermath of the Decade. (Orig.).
