“…Community organizations run by immigrants have been proliferating, as they function as places for immigrants to socialize, to share troubles, to ask for advice, to network, and to fight for rights in their challenging receiving local contexts (Espadas, Aboussi, & Raya, ; Paloma, García‐Ramírez, & de la Mata, ). However, studies that analyzed community participation in relation to immigrants usually showed newcomers as receivers of others’ social actions (Lough, ).…”

This study examines the individual and contextual factors associated with sociopolitical control expressed by immigrants in southern Spain. We used hierarchical linear modeling to evaluate the relations between individual (community participation, social connectedness, and perceived cultural competence of receiving community services) and municipality characteristics (city community participation, city social connectedness, and city community services' cultural competence) and immigrants' feelings of sociopolitical control. Data were analyzed using a two-level model based on 707 Moroccan immigrants in 25 municipalities. After adjusting for gender, educational level, and psychosocial confounding factors, we observed a positive association between social connectedness and sociopolitical control at the individual level. At the contextual level, we observed a positive association between (a) city community participation, (b) city social connectedness, and (c) city community services' cultural competence, and sociopolitical control. Indeed, living in a municipality where there are community services with high levels of cultural competence and where, on average, many people participate in organizations and neighbors are connected, was associated with higher levels of perceived control in the sociopolitical domain for immigrants. We also discuss implications for community-based research and practice.

“…Individuals reporting engagement with NGOs before migration are significantly more likely to engage with NGOs after migration. Furthermore, these individual-level characteristics fit in with the more general way of thinking about migrant civic participation in terms of the legacies of the country of origin (Voicu 2014;Espadas et al 2013). Notably, this participation form is strongly associated with other kinds of formal participation, such as voting in elections or labour union membership.…”

This paper examines the patterns of civic participation among Polish migrants in nine European countries. The study is based on an internet survey (with 5000 respondents) and qualitative research with activists and experts. The paper serves two principal research goals: (1) exploring formal civic participation in NGOs of the country of residence among the post-2004 Polish migrants, and (2) establishing the principal predictors of Polish migrants' involvement in the host-country NGOs. Our research leads to two principal conclusions. Firstly, the level of civic activity before migration constitutes a crucial factor in predicting the propensity to engage with host-country NGOs after migration. Our results suggest a robust country-of-origin effect on the patterns of civic engagement abroad. Secondly, however, the likelihood of civic participation grows with time, i.e., the higher the length of stay, the higher the propensity to participate, suggesting the socialization process towards the host-country civic norms and away from the countryof-origin legacy.
