In recent decades, the rise of world markets and the
technological revolutions in transportation and communication have
brought what was once distant and inaccessible within easy reach of
the individual. The territorial and social closure that
characterized nation-states is fading, and this is reflected not
only in new forms of governance and economic globalization, but
also in individual mobility and transnational transactions,
affiliations and networks. Social Transnationalism explores new
forms of cross-border interactions and mobility which have expanded
across physical space by looking at the individual level. It asks
whether we are dealing with unbridled movements and cross-border
interactions which transform the lifeworlds of individuals
fundamentally. Furthermore, it investigates whether, and to what
degree, increases in the volume of transnational interactions
weaken the individual citizen's bond to the nation-state as such,
and to what extent citizens' national identities are being replaced
or complemented by cosmopolitan ones
