Abstract
In this volume, the contributors explore the universe of migrants as both job seekers and ethnic minority entrepreneurs in Europe over the last hundred years. Migrants’ motivations, adaptation to new cultural and working environment and the effects of their presence on social and economic structures in the country of destination are analysed. In addition, rather than engaging with the question of why some ethnic groups compete more successfully in business, authors concentrate on specific case studies of ethnic groups with a high level of entrepreneurship and self-employment.
