Ähnlich wie vor etwas mehr als einem Jahrzehnt die Begriffe "global" und "Globalisierung" scheinen heute die Termini "transnational" und "Transnationalisierung" zu viel gebrauchten Modebegriffen zu werden. Sollen damit alle grenzüberschreitenden sozialen Beziehungen bezeichnet werden und wird Transnationalisierung damit ein neuer Catch-All-Begriff? Oder ist mit Transnationalismus ein bestimmtes und durchaus seriöses Forschungsprogramm gemeint?
Vor dem Hintergrund eigener langjähriger theoretischer und empirischer Studien zum Thema zeigt Ludger Pries, dass sich die paintings und Weise zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenlebens, die Vergesellschaftung der Menschen, immer stärker transnationalisiert.
