Migration and Transformation: - Multi-Level Analysis of Migrant Transnationalism

pbPeople's transnational ties and activities are acquiring ever greater importance and topicality in today's �world. �The focus of this book lies in the complex and multi-level processes of migrant transnationalism in four transnational spaces: India-UK, Morocco-France and Turkey-Germany and Estonia-Finland. The main question is, how people's activities across national borders emerge, function, and change, and how are they related to the processes of governance in increasingly complex and interconnected world?/b/ppb�/b/ppbThe book is based on the findings of a three-year research project TRANS-NET which brough together internationally acknowledged experts from Europe, Asia and Africa.
As no single discipline could investigate all the components of the topic in question, the project adopted a multi-disciplinary approach: among the contributors, there are sociologists, policy analysts, political scientists, social and cultural anthropologists, educational scientists, and economists./b/ppb�/b/ppbThe chapters show that people's transnational linkages and migration across national boundaries entail manifold political, economic, social, cultural and educational implications.
Although political-social-economic-educational transformations fostered by migrant transnationalism constitute the main topic of the book, the starting assumption is that the large-scale institutional and actor-centred patterns of transformation come about through a constellation of parallel processes. /b/pp
