The management of immigration involves a whole range of actors and networks of implicated actors (stakeholders) who have an influence not only on social dynamics and policy design, they are also agents who contribute directly to the processes of social and political transformation.

This monographic work focuses on actors of a governmental nature, such as administrations in general, as well as those of a non-governmental nature, deriving from associationism among the immigrants themselves, non-governmental organisations, trade unions, political parties, businesspeople, citizen associationism and foundations of a cultural nature, etc. Migration dynamics cannot be understood without taking into consideration these actors who influence these dynamics, and who very often alter them considerably. The analysis of this issue is a channel of research that will unquestionably help to shed light on the orientations that society and politics is taking in the face of this irreversible process. This volume contains 10 contributions presented at the research seminar “Actors and networks of actors: the managers of the immigration process in Spain and Europe”, which was jointly organised by GRIIP (Research Group on Immigration and Political Innovation) at Pompeu Fabra University (Department of Political and Social Sciences) and the Migrations Programme at the CIDOB Foundation.
