“…This individual-level approach was tested in a number of cities and the findings gathered in a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (Jacobs and Tillie 2004). In brief, they found that involvement in ethnic and cross-ethnic networks has both a strong and positive effect on the political participation of migrants (Berger, Galonska, and Koopmans 2004;Jacobs, Phalet, and Swyngedouw 2004;Togeby 2004;Tillie 2004).…”

This paper looks at the determinants of the political participation of Muslims. We assess the impact of associational involvement on their overall political participation and their involvement in protest activities. We do so using original survey data consisting of a random sample of Muslim residents in Switzerland. Our analysis provides support to the argument that associational involvement is a strong predictor of political participation. The findings suggest that Muslims involved in cross-ethnic organisations are more likely to engage in politics. This holds for the overall political participation and for engagement in protest activities. In terms of social capital theory, our findings confirm that bridging social capital is as crucial when it comes to explaining the political participation of Muslims as it is when dealing with migrants in general. However, we also observe a positive impact of the involvement in religious associations. We interpret this effect as an indication that bonding social capital plays a role in the political participation of ethno-religious minorities, but one based on a religious rather than an ethnic cleavage. Future research should pay more attention to this relationship.

“…What matters in interpreting the results is the sign of significant effects. 5 It is especially problematic with SIENA, as the basic assumption of atomicity of changes (agents can only change one link at a time) is violated. For example, by joining a new board, a director that sits already on k boards will add k new links at once in the projection, among the new board and the previous ones 6 The mode of the organizations is considered the active one, unilaterally deciding when to add/remove directors.…”

Abstract. We model the dynamics of the two-mode network among directors and boards of voluntary associations, using a stochastic actorbased model, SIENA [12], including the structural effects proposed in [6], and considering the political orientation of associations as a covariate. Using data from [14], we compare the evolution of interlocks among Turkish associations in two European capitals, and explain the noticeable difference in structure by looking at statistically significant differences among the estimated effects.

ResumenEn los estudios sobre los determinantes de la participación política de los migrantes es frecuente encontrar análisis basados en el enfoque de la estructura de oportunidades políticas (EOP). Este enfoque surge a partir de los estudios sobre movimientos sociales y activismo cívico. Frente a los abordajes que explicaban la acción colectiva a partir de la agregación natural de intereses comunes, fruto de los procesos de interacción estratégica, de la movilización de recursos o del nivel socioeconómico de los actores, esta perspectiva entiende que la misma tiene más que ver con la existencia de un contexto político determinado que favorece el desarrollo de ciertas acciones e iniciativas cívico-políticas. El enfoque de la EOP es actualmente uno de los dominantes en el análisis del activismo migrante. El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre estos debates centrándonos en las principales limitaciones de la perspectiva de la EOP. Para ello, nos basaremos en el análisis del asociacionismo migrante en España y en los vínculos cívico-políticos de los migrantes con sus países de origen. Este trabajo pretende ofrecer un acercamiento teórico-analítico a partir de los resultados de las investigaciones que en los últimos años se han desarrollado en España sobre dicha temática. A partir de esta discusión, el artículo presenta una propuesta analítica relacional y dinámica de las principales dimensiones que entendemos deben tenerse en cuenta a la hora de abordar el asociacionismo y la participación cívico-política de los migrantes. Palabras clave: migrantes; participación política; asociacionismo migrante; estructura de oportunidades políticas; perspectiva transnacional Abstract. The transnational political opportunity structure and the relational turn in the analysis of political involvement and the migrant associative movementIn migrant political participation studies it is common to find approaches based on the political opportunity structure (POS); a perspective that emerged from studies on social movements and civic activism. POS confronts other approaches that conceive collective action based on the natural aggregation of common interests. Instead of this, POS highlights the relevance of political context to explain the development of several political practices of migrants. POS is currently one of the dominant approaches in analyzing migrant activism. The aim of this article is to reflect on these debates and highlight the most important constraints of this perspective. To do so, we focus on immigrants' self-organizations in Spain and the links between them and their countries. The article presents a proposal of a relational and dynamic research framework in order to take into account the main factors that should be considered when dealing with migrants' civic and political participation.
