Migration and Transformation : Multi-Level Analysis of Migrant Transnationalism, Hardcover by Pitkanen, Pirkko (EDT); Icduygu, Ahmet (EDT); Sert, Deniz (EDT), ISBN 9400739672, ISBN-13 9789400739673, Brand New, Free shipping in the US<p><b>People’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></p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>Th 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></p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>The 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 th, the starting assumption is that the large-scale institutional and actor-centred patterns of transformation come about through a constellation of parallel processes. </b></p><p></p>
