The magnetization of 2d mesoscopic disordered clusters is studied as a function of the Coulomb energy to kinetic energy ratio rs. Between the Fermi system (small rs) and the Wigner molecule (large rs), an intermediate regime is observed where the Wigner antiferromagnetism defavors the Stoner ferromagnetism and where an interaction-induced delocalization of the ground state takes place which is suppressed when the spins are aligned by a parallel magnetic field. The enhancement of the Landé g factor observed in macroscopic systems is reproduced by those mesoscopic systems for similar ratios rs.
