The field of mobility studies examines social phenomena through the
lens of movement. In this perspective, societies are regarded as
being constantly reconfigured as they are shaped by a series of
mobile entities (capital, people, information). This book engages
critically with many of the claims and challenges of mobility
studies by providing empirically rich reports of mobilities and
their limitations. Instead of assuming a seamless world of flows,
the volume foregrounds questions of power, inequality, and moorings
as integral to the movement of capital, goods, images, practices,
or people. It brings together the work of several internationally
renowned scholars, who engage with these movements at critical
sites. This is the first book to provide a critical and
interdisciplinary view of mobilities covering a broad range of
issues rather than a single domain. The chapters deal with current
and important issues, such as organ transplants, illegal
migrations, urban globalization, international policies of higher
education institutions, and scientific diasporas. As a whole, the
book provides new insights into how power relations shape
mobilities and societies.
