The authors discuss the phenomenon of immigrant/ethnic entrepreneurship in different welfare state systems through the prism of theoretical frameworks that were developed in the USA and later moved to Europe. In Europe this activity is a politically encouraged economic activity with the underlying aim of integration of immigrants into the (majority) society and maintaining public support for financial redistribution within a welfare state regime.

The deconstruction of globalization proposed in this paper aims at causes, rather than effects, in providing alternative optics for theorizing and analyzing globalization. Western Balkans and Slovenia serve as case studies for elaborating the effects of globalization in post-socialist space in both EU and EU-candidate settings, as well as vice versa: how local and regional processes influenced, enforced and reinforced the omnipresent phenomenon of globalization.

This paper describes how the children of Slovene emigrants interact on the Internet and explores the exceptionally rich communication that takes place among them. This crosses national borders and focuses on a number of cultural phenomena that can be ascribed to transnationality. These links have the advantage of not being controlled or influenced by parents, relatives or others, which facilitates greater freedom and flexibility when forming their own identity.
