Abstract

This chapter explores the role of immigrant entrepreneurship in the integration of post-Soviet immigrants in Spain by examining the development of the Spanish institutional system. According to the Varieties of Capitalism framework, this system is characterized as a mixed market economy (MME)—a combination of liberal and coordinated market economies—and as an Extra-Union type of immigration regime. The findings show that similar to the Austrian context of a Coordinated Market Economy (CME), the integration regime in Spain limits the access of post-Soviet immigrants to the labor market. However, Spain’s economic modernization and dominance of certain economic sectors have prompted post-Soviet immigrants to identify and establish businesses in untapped niches in the service sector. As a result, five types of post-Soviet entrepreneurship have emerged in Spain, including grassroots entrepreneurs, connectors, and corporants, as well as individual middle-class and new exclusive immigrant entrepreneurs. The chapter also highlights that post-Soviet entrepreneurs in Spain tend to cooperate and integrate equally with other immigrant communities and with Spaniards.
