TI - Between Crisis and Transformation: Polish Immigrant Organizations in Spain
AB - 
	This article presents the results of a comprehensive study of Polish immigrant organizations in Spain. The analysis is based on original data collected through in-depth interviews with Polish immigrant organizations’ members, representatives of their environment, experts, and representatives of the Spanish administration. The deep economic crisis in Spain emerges as a critical juncture that reshaped the situation of the surveyed organizations. These difficulties are emphasized as the root cause of many of the issues faced by the organizations, both in terms of a decreasing Polish diaspora (and, thus, reduced numbers of members and recipients of the organization) and changes in the political structure of opportunities. At the same time, broader changes in the migration process related to globalization and regional integration are seen as crucial determinants of the changing character of their activities.
