This publication contains the final report of the project ‘<strong>Migrants</strong>, <strong>Minorities</strong>, <strong>Belongings</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Citizenship</strong>. <strong>Glocalization</strong> <strong>and</strong> Participation Dilemmas in EU <strong>and</strong> Small States’, whose<br />

work has primarily contributed to the area ‘<strong>Citizenship</strong>, governance <strong>and</strong> the dynamics of<br />

European integration <strong>and</strong> enlargement’.<br />

The report contains information about the main scientific findings of Glocalmig <strong>and</strong> their<br />

policy implications. The research was carried out by six teams over a period of one year,<br />

starting in February 2003.<br />

The abstract <strong>and</strong> executive summary presented in this edition offer the reader an<br />

overview of the main scientific <strong>and</strong> policy conclusions, before the main body of the<br />

research provided in the other chapters of this report.<br />

As the results of the projects financed under the Key Action become available to the<br />

scientific <strong>and</strong> policy communities, Priority 7 ‘Citizens <strong>and</strong> Governance in a knowledge based<br />

society’ of the Sixth Framework Programme is building on the progress already made <strong>and</strong><br />

aims at making a further contribution to the development of a European Research Area in<br />

the social sciences <strong>and</strong> the humanities.<br />

I hope readers find the information in this publication both interesting <strong>and</strong> useful as well<br />

as clear evidence of the importance attached by the European Union to fostering research<br />

in the field of social sciences <strong>and</strong> the humanities.<br />

J.-M. BAER,<br />
