● Characteristics of transnational spaces in terms of the degree and intensity of crossborder co-operation, loyalty constructions, participation, voice, and access. ● Types of interplays between glocal, transnational, and traditional channels of voice, participation, and access in terms of exchanges of people, double roles, formation and transfer of values and ideas, mutual influence and interference. ● Types of national and supranational policy tools and social conditions that affect the formation and persistency of misalignments, and glocal, transnational, and traditional channels of voice, participation, and access to public arenas. ● Similarities and differences between participation, voice and access forms of citizens, historical-native minorities, second and third country nationals, and extra- European citizens residing in second countries at the micro-level. In this exploratory phase, the project has designed the QC-CITBASE and has stored the collected qualitative comparative data in a standard format coded in form of discrete and ordinal variables. The technical features of this database are: - comparative across cases (i.e. enablingstorage of information in a standard format); - comparative across variables (i.e. allowing aggregation and quantification); - context-sensitive (i.e. allowing storage of conditions non-existent in other cases); - updateable over time (i.e. allowing storage of new data cumulatively); - extendable to other small/big countries (i.e. allowing addition of data from new cases); - extendable to new variables (i.e. allowing quantification and recoding); - comprising descriptive as well as analytical data; - user-friendly. It is important to note that the data are not collected from samples that are statistically representative. The reason for this is that the project was exploratory and qualitatively oriented already from the beginning. With the qualitative data available in Glocalmig, this database is primarily a qualitative database which allows micro-levels of analysis. However, the database is designed in such a way that, if data from statistically representative samples are stored in it, it can also be used as a quantitative database in 52
the future. In this sense, the database is a flexible one with respect to different research and analysis orientations. 2.2. Empirical project results The 7 publications in the Glocalmig Series mapped: - Legal rights and statuses of citizens and residents in six countries; - Features of selected glocal spaces in six countries; - Belongings and participation patterns of people attending to glocal spaces; - Alignments and/or misalignments between people’s belongings and the existing norms, laws, institutions, and policies of citizenship – quality of citizenships. The final volume of the Glocalmig Series addresses the last three of these topics comparatively. The first three of the above-mentioned research activities were important and necessary steps towards the scientific objectives of this project. However, in this final report, we will not present and analyze in detail the data collected about the legal rights/statuses and institutions relating to citizenship in our six case countries. Nor will we present or analyze the fieldwork data about glocal spaces and belongings. The aim of these parts was to establish the factual foundation which was necessary to reach preliminary conclusions about the relationships between belongings and citizenship frames – i.e. about the quality of citizenships – on the one hand, and on the other, to test the research tools developed in Glocalmig. For the purposes of this report, we will therefore focus on the end-products of our project: ● Quality of citizenships as experienced by the attendants of glocal spaces. ● The effectivity and fruitfulness of Glocalmig’s Research Tools. As mentioned in the beginning, the quality of citizenship is defined in this research as the degree of alignments and/or misalignments between individuals’ belongings and the formal citizenship laws, institutions, and policies. The first and second parts of Glocalmig mapped, respectively, the formal citizenship frames in terms of (1) legal rights/statuses and (2) institutions relating to citizenship and rights-exercise. The third part focused on the belongings and participation patterns of the people attending to selected glocal spaces. In each of these project parts, our point of departure was the similarities and differences between the majority citizens in each country and those who are not considered as belonging to the majority population – e.g. historical native minorities, 53
