Compliant policy and mutiple meanings: conflicting Holocaust discourses in Estonia

Applies a socio-cultural analysis to Estonia's Holocaust Day policy, established in 2002 and investigates the multi-level development of the policy in light of external pressure (from foreign advocates and transnational groups including NATO and the Council of Europe) and the ways in which policy as normative discourse was constructed and its meaning negotiated between international sources, the national government, and educators. It draws attention to the multifaceted nature of discourse in a post-authoritarian context in which the disparities of power between people at different policy levels are quite large.
