1	Divergent Paths : Identity Construction in the Yugoslav National Association in Sweden Between 1970–1991 Johnsson Habibija, Aida January 2023 (has links) In this study, identity construction among Yugoslavs in Sweden is explored through Jugoslaviska riksförbundet i Sverige (Yugoslav National Association in Sweden, JRF). The activities and structure of the JRF are understood through the lens of strategies and perception, grounded in the theoretical frameworks of social identity theory and integration from the migrant perspective. These perspectives highlighted how the JRF constructed its identity according to expectations placed upon them by both the Swedish integration policy and the Yugoslav’s perception of them as “temporary workers abroad”. This did not mean a placid acceptance of these expectations, but rather the JRF used them to influence perceptions of the organization. The JRF adopted organizational structures and policies from Yugoslavia and adapted them to the Swedish context. This resulted in a decentralized organizational structure in which the primary activity of the national association was political, and thus the JRF’s notion of “Yugoslav” and how to maintain such an identity was grounded in political activity, such as advocating for the national communities within the organization or sending youth labor brigades to Yugoslavia. identity immigrant associations migration ethnic and national identity History Historia

3	The political transnationalism of immigrant associations in Barcelona Vancea, Mihaela 26 May 2009 (has links) Aquesta tesi vol respondre a dos preguntes fonamentals en l'àrea de recerca de la migració transnacional: s'impliquen els immigrants en el transnacionalisme polític? I, quins són els factors determinants del seu activisme polític transnacional ? Per respondre a la primera qüestió, comparo el nivell d'activisme polític transnacional d'una mostra d'associacions de diferents orígens immigrants a Barcelona. Per contestar a la segona, centro l'atenció en possibles factors determinants a dos nivells, meso i macro. La tesis demostra que l'activisme polític transnacional no està generalitzat entre totes les associacions a Barcelona, que presenta un nivell relativament baix de regularitat, i que generalment es desenvolupa al nivell nacional. També demostra que la necessitat d'examinar l'efecte del context de sortida i, més en concret, l'estructura d'oportunitats polítiques del país d'origen sobre el transnacionalisme polític de les associacions d'immigrants. Altres determinants a nivell meso, com les xarxes socials o les fonts de finançament semblen explicar la variació en l'activisme polític transnacional de les associacions d'immigrants. / This thesis addresses two fundamental questions in the transnational migration research field: whether or not all immigrants engage in political transnationalism? And which are the main determinants of their transnational political activism? To answer the first research question, I specifically compare different degrees of transnational political engagement of various national/ethnic origin immigrant associations in Barcelona. To answer the second research question, I focus on meso- and macro- levels determinants. The thesis demonstrates that transnational political engagement is not generalised among all immigrant associations in Barcelona, presents a relatively low level of regularity, and is generally nationally based. It also demonstrates the importance of studying the effect of the exit context and, in particular, of the political opportunity structure in home country on the political transnationalism of immigrant associations. Meso- level determinants like social networks and sources of funds also seem to explain the variance in immigrant associations' transnational political engagement. social networks political opportunity structure immigrant associations national citizenship political transnationalism migration desarrollo socioeconómico participación política fronteras estatales estructura de oportunidades políticas redes sociales ciudadanía nacional asociaciones de inmigrantes transnacionalismo político migración Barcelona desenvolupament socio-econòmic participació política fronteres estatals xarxes socials estructura d'oportunitats polítiques ciutadania nacional associacions d'inmigrants transnacionalisme polític migració state borders political participation socio-economic development 31 316
