My arguments are drawn on the basis of the embeddedness of entrepreneurship in social networks at a local and transnational level. In a scenario where it is assumed that immigrants arrive into a host society in search of employment, the scholarship of entrepreneurship of migrant-origin persons has several topics to be investigated. There is published literature about ethnic entrepreneurship, immigrants' owners in the labour market and transnational connections with the host society. This paper attempts to contribute to the state of art by comparing the phenomenon of nascent entrepreneurship between mature and innovative markets, stressing the role of transnational connections and immigrants' integration. Immigrant entrepreneurs can be involved in very diverse initiatives in several sectors of the economy. This situation leads to the question to be answered with this papers: which kind of migrant entrepreneurship makes use of their connections at local, national and international levels to acquire resources and ideas for their business? The analysis is sustained on theoretical work about the emergence of entrepreneurs connected with the idea of embeddedness of economic activities in social relations. The case of transnational entrepreneurship helps to geographically situate immigrant entrepreneurs, their connections and social ties across their countries of migratory experience. The comparison of mature and innovative markets explains differences in the profile of immigrant entrepreneurs in the process to acquire funding and in the use of ethnic communities. The conclusion stresses the persistent disadvantages for immigrants at the lower end of the market and the opportunities at the upper end. There is a potential to conduct research on transnational entrepreneurship of immigrants as a possible path for integration.

El impacto que los medios despiertan en la sociedad es una clave para que los ciudadanos opinen y se apropien de los temas que son más cercanos. Este fenómeno ha llamado la atención de varios académicos dispuestos a analizar el rol de los medios como formadores de opinión, como actores políticos y como difusores o exportadores de cultura. Aquí se analiza un caso muy particular de influencia y participación de la prensa en la política exterior de los Estados y de manera muy precisa en el proceso de paz Ecuatoriano-Peruano de 1998.
