Transnational Spaces: Disciplinary Perspectives

Abstract

This book makes available the papers based on the proceedings from the international workshop, Transnational spaces: disciplinary perspectives, held at the School of International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER), Malmö University, on June 10-11, 2003. It brings together scholars of different disciplinary backgrounds who have an interest in transnational connections and imply transnational perspectives in their research. They address the state of the art concerning transnational spaces within the conceptual universe of their respective disciplines. The chapters range from elaborate disciplinary overviews to outlines of research projects yet to be undertaken. However, they all engage in answering the questions concerning definitions of the term and the appropriate methods of research into transnational spaces in conceptual and empirical efforts towards the general study of transnationalisation.
