dc.description.abstract | Mass immigration into Spain is a relatively new phenomenon. Additionally, the country's recent economic boom and ties to Latin America put it in the unique position of being home to millions of Spanish-speaking migrants. This paper analyzes the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in encouraging or discouraging transnational political action and citizenship acquisition directed toward Latin American countries. The author traveled to Madrid, Spain in the summer of 2010 and performed qualitative interviews with CEOs and employees of numerous South American NGOs. The results of the interviews indicate that individual transnational action by migrants is rare compared to the lobbying and advocacy work of the organizations themselves. La inmigración masiva hacia España es un fenómeno relativamente nuevo. Por el reciente auge económico en el país, y sus enlaces históricos y culturales en Latinoamérica, España tiene una población migratoria compuesta en gran parte por latinoamericanos. Esta tesis analice el papel de las organizaciones no-gubernamentales en animar o no animar las migrantes a participar en acciones políticas transnacionales hacia sus países de origen. El autor se viajó a Madrid durante el verano de 2010 y allí realizó entrevistas con directores y consejeros del sector no-gubernamental. Los resultados de las entrevistas indican que la acción política transnacional realizada por las migrantes propias es relativamente rara en comparación con la política realizada por las organizaciones mismas. | |
