Abstract
Global cities are hosting a population originating from different parts of the world. This research focuses on the urban-sociological part of the debate of ethnic communities; the way ethnic communities organise themselves and operate transnational as ethnic self-organisations. Putting the emphasize on transnationalism gives another understanding towards the global city and the ethnic world a city operates into. The city of The Hague is an interesting case to understand this relation. The Hague is embedded in diverse geographies, however the ethnic world where The Hague is embedded into is unacknowledged. This research shows a new understanding for being global due to the participation of an ethnic minority. The Turkish and the (Surinam-) Hindustan self-organisations will be described widely to give an understanding towards this setting.
