ABSTRACT

In the previous chapters, I first embedded my concept of good neighbourhood into a theoretical framework and then described the main features of the ethnicized neighbourly relations in two multi-ethnic border towns of East Central Europe: Komárno/ Komárom in southern Slovakia at the border with Hungary, and Subotica/ Szabadka, in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina on the Serbian-Hungarian border. In the following chapters, I discuss and analyse the components that frame this concept of good neighbourhood and therefore refer to the theoretical works and multi-ethnic contexts described above.
