The main goal of the paper is to identify commonalities and differences in the structure of ethnic economies in Canada and Slovenia. Differences are evident, in the first instance, in treating the power of immigrant and ethnic economies in contributing to the overall structure of national economies. Having in mind theoretical and practical differences between North American and European approaches to the ethnic economy, we will confront them with some important findings.

Authors discuss the dynamics of immigrant/ethnic entrepreneurship in different welfare state regimes through the prism of theoretical frameworks that were developed in the United States and Europe. It is argued that contrary to the United States, in Europe this is largely a politically encouraged economic activity with the underlying aim ofintegration of immigrants into the majority society and maintaining public support for financial redistribution within a welfare state regime. These differences stem from conditions created by different types of welfare states and have a strong influence on the development of ethnic entrepreneurship theories in the two continents. Due to exploring ethnic entrepreneurship in different conditions: (neo)liberalism in the United States and (neo)corporativism in Europe, theories follow different lines of analytical reasoning.
