Abstract
This paper considers the evolution of the local politics of development services in relation to the goal to support a real integration of ethnic minorities with respect to their specific characteristics, needs and particular skills. The accent is placed on the importance of communication and integration of relevant institutions and on the necessity of overtaking purely economic or technocratic strategies, enhancing the process of negotiation between institutions and local communities. Some examples are given, particularly from Islamic areas in French-speaking countries. Information about a local project of integration of Turkish immigrants in Belgium is developed.
