This issue brief advocates a more systematic investigation into the concept of economic exclusion of ethnic minorities. The author attempts to shed light on the exact meaning of "economic exclusion" and its relation to the broader and more established phenomenon of social exclusion. Further, he addresses the issue of whether economic exclusion, especially when applied to historical ethnic minorities, is worthwhile to study in its own right, or whether it is just a fashionable reframing of "older" development concepts such as poverty or inequality.
