Summary:

"In 2009, Steven Vertovec started off his much- cited work Transnationalism with 'Today transnationalism is everywhere, at least in social science.' (2009: 1) Eight years later, in times in which plans are being made and executed to close borders to people and goods, transnationalism seems less self-evident, and the question of how transnationalismboth as a cultural, political and economic reality and an academic perspectivewill evolve in the near future, has become unexpectedly pressing"-- Provided by publisher.
