The end of ideology ideology was simply ideology. A closer reading of the papers when published may answer this question. Negotiations are underway for the conference papers to be published in book format. Details will be announced in the merger 'MigCities Supplement' in due course. The second international conference of the MigCities Network will focus on social dynamics at the neighbourhood level in terms of adaptation and exclusion.
Social exclusion can adopt different forms.
Increasingly, it has become clear that the impact of shifts in the labour market can be intricately linked to the structure of the neighbourhoods. 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.
