Most scholars have recognized major and global cities (Saskia Sassen, 1991) to be until now the nodal points of an archipelago economy (Pierre Veltz, 1996) and notably, the main observation sites of migration dynamics. In bringing together perspectives of migration and village studies, I intend to qualify the dominant global urban paradigms with a comparative framework to analyze mutually transformative relations between international migrants’ lives and the potential repositioning of villages within the competitive global hierarchy. May villages, like global cities and / or neighborhoods of these, be vectors of globalization processes - including migration ones, balancing thus global cities with global villages? Marshall McLuhan developed the global village concept (1967) to illustrate the effects of globalization in terms of communication on the global organization into a metaphorical single "village", reviving the ideas of village societies’ proximity and community. I propose a critical review of the global village concept to participate in understanding relationships between migration and the fundamental evolving structures of societies, cultures and territories. Precisely, I identify and interpret linkages between local and global dynamics that spatially and socially restructure a 3000 inhabitants’ village life, a third of the local population being international foreign migrants. In analyzing international migrants’ lives as villagers, I redefine global village according to the multi-scalar relational geography of migrants and to local socio-spatial reorganizations between global standardization of migration modalities and productive spaces and persistence of surrounding environment’s characteristics. I aim to provide innovative understandings of villages as new potential changing contexts of international migrants’ lives and as another places being witnesses and actors of globalization. This holistic-inductive study is based on the results of my current researches from a geographical thesis project. I carried out during the summers 2012 and 2013 fifty semi-structured interviews and participant observation with different foreign migrant communities living and working in the Spanish Cadaqués village.
