Zusammenfassung
The aim of the study was to find out the reasons why immigrants tend to participate less than locals for developing an active policy of including newly-arriving immigrants in the Spanish democratic system. An empirical study was undertaken in which 26 immigrants of different sexes, ages and countries of origin were given an in-depth interview about the relationship of personal and social problems with the search for solution strategies. By broadening the theoretic political opportunity structure (POS) model towards a model of perceived political opportunity structure it was found that immigrants tended towards individual solutions for many structural problems.
