VANCEA, Mihaela y BOSO, Àlex. The political transnationalism of the immigrant associations in Barcelona. Pap. poblac [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.94, pp.9-32. ISSN 2448-7147. https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2017.94.030.
This article aims to addresses two fundamental questions: to what extent immigrant associations engage in political transnationalism; and what are the main determinants of their transnational political activism. The study compares the degree of political transnationalism of 24 immigrant associations in Barcelona, by exploring the influence of meso and macro level determinants. The results show that transnational political engagement is not generalized among all immigrant associations and presents a relatively low level of regularity. They also indicate the importance of the political opportunity structure in the home country, the social networks and the sources of funds as significant factors to understand the level of their transnational political engagement.
