The volume provides a field-analytical methodology for researching
knowledge-based sociopolitical processes of transnationalization.
Drawing on seminal work by Pierre Bourdieu, we apply concepts of
practice, habitus, and field to phenomena such as cross-national
social trajectories, international procedures of evaluation,
standardization, and certification, or supranational political
structures. These transnational phenomena form part of general
political struggles that legitimate social relationships in and
beyond the nation-state. Part 1 on methodological foundations
discusses the consequences of Bourdieu's epistemology and
methodology for theorizing and investigating transnational
phenomena. The contributions show the importance of
field-theoretical concepts for post-national insights. Part 2 on
investigating political fields presents exemplary case studies in
diverse research areas such as colonial imperialism, international
academic rankings, European policy fields, and local school policy.
While focusing on their research objects, the contributions also
give an insight into the mechanisms involved in processes of
transnationalization. The volume is an invitation for sociologists,
political scientists, and scholars in adjacent research areas to
engage with reflexive and relational research practice and to
further develop field-theoretical thought.
