Si bien la literatura ha mostrado la importancia del país de destino en las relaciones que mantienen los inmigrantes con su país de origen, el rol de las autoridades a nivel sub-estatal está aún por definir. Este artículo analiza, a través de los casos de estudio de Cataluña y Barcelona, las características y motivaciones de las políticas transnacionales llevadas a cabo por estas autoridades. Para ello examina datos recopilados mediante entrevistas en profundidad y análisis documental. Los resultados ilustran que las autoridades reconocen las actividades transnacionales como un bien común; mientras se apoyan determinadas actividades económicas, políticas y socioculturales transnacionales, otras no; detrás de la gobernanza transnacional, existen diferentes motivaciones políticas. Este artículo añade dos nuevas motivaciones a las ya reconocidas previamente. Primero, las autoridades encuentran un beneficio económico y político para sí mismas. Segundo, lo perciben como una herramienta complementaria en el proceso de construcción identitaria que se está produciendo en Cataluña.
