Overview

The movement of people from one place to another with the aim of settling temporarily or permanently is known as migration. It could be across an international border or from one region to another. Transnationalism is a field of study which has gained prominence due to the heightened interconnectivity between people, and the decreasing economic and social importance of boundaries between countries. The prominent areas of study within this field are economic transnational activities, socio-cultural transnational activities, and political transnational activities. It also helps in gaining a better understanding of the broader geopolitical and global dynamics which cause migration. This book explores all the important aspects of migration, transnationalism and mobility in the present day scenario. It is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important area of study.
