The comparative report analyses the individual cases which constituted the EUROREG project with the aims of: enhancing the existing knowledge on the nature of regional development, mobilization, ethnic minority politicization, and how these are reconfi gured by European integration processes; examining how EU regional economic policies in EU member states affect patterns of political participation and economic activity of ethnic minorities, as well as their relations with national majorities, political parties and state administration; examining the ways in which human rights and minority protection policies in CESE accession states alter patterns of local political participation and regional economic activity of ethnic minorities, their relations with national majorities and political parties and state administration and compare the ways in which EU integration affects the regional mobilization and political representation of minorities and majorities, as well as national-ethnic identities and conceptions of‘Europe’ in member states and CESE accession countries.
