Migrants in neighbourhoods with strong concentrations of migrants may fare differently from their counterparts in more mixed neighbourhoods in the same city. A neighbourhood with a strong concentration of migrants, for instance, may contribute to stigmatisation and discrimination against migrant job applicants but it may also stimulate ethnic entrepreneurship by offering a captive market. Analysing social exclusion and integration has to incorporate the context of the neighbourhood which plays an autonomous role in itself in respect to representations of insiders and outsiders and to migrants' trajectories. Besides, the local context may be more or less dependent as regards national policies relating to crime and social issues. The participation of migrants and their civic, political and social citizenship are to be examined as well as their institutional inclusion or exclusion.
