Acknowledgements 7 Acknowledgements This book was conceived after the workshop "Social networks in movement”, held in Galanta on October 6, 2001. The organization and sponsoring of the workshop, as well as the publication of this work has been realized thanks to the generous support and precious scientific and technical help of the Forum Minority Research Institute. Károly Tóth, director of the Forum Institute is the first person to whom we turned for the organisation of the workshop. The choice was extremely positive; we thank him and all the staff of the Forum for their unlimited assistance and encouragement towards the completion of this volume. We are grateful to Prof. Christian Giordano, Prof. Claire Wallace, Dr. Longina Jakubowska and Dr. Frances Pine who chaired the workshop sessions and enriched with their presence the scientific contribution of the workshop. We are glad that the event provided to some participants an occasion to taste the local reality of a less known region in central Europe. Although the way to the completion of the book has been longer than expected, we confide that the outcome meets well all expectations. We wish to thank Sándor Bondor for his translation work on chapters 7 and 8. Chapters 3, 5, 6 and Appendix 2 and 3 have been translated by the editor, Melinda Pappová. A special thanks to Juliana Krajčírová, Patty Gray, Deema Kaneff, Frances Pine and John Eidson for their precious comments and polishing of the language.
