En este artículo tratamos de contribuir al debate en torno al papel de las asociaciones de inmigrantes en las sociedades de origen y destino, así como puente entre las mismas. El creciente número y potencial de las asociaciones ha puesto de relieve su contribución al desarrollo y a la dinamización de las sociedades civiles de uno y otro lado. Sin embargo, este proceso no está exento de limitaciones y dinámicas que pueden entrar en contradicción con el papel fundacional de las mismas asociaciones. La interacción con las instituciones de los países de origen de origen y destino, y el acceso a programas y fondos públicos estatales, habría generado un escenario en el que las asociaciones han experimentado cambios organizativos y en su relación con el poder que han sido objeto de crítica.
This paper contributes to the debate on the role of the associations among immigrants in their origin and destination countries, working as a bridge between them. The growing number and the potential of these associations have highlighted their contribution to the development and the renewal of the civil societies of the origin and destination countries. However, this process still has limitations and dynamics that may conflict with the basic role of these associations. The interaction between the origin and destination countries, as well as the access to governmental programs and funds, has created a scenario in which these associations have undergone organizational and power-related changes, which have been an object of criticism.
