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. Damit ist Transnationalisierung eine wichtige shape der Internationalisierung von Vergesellschaftung, die unser 21. Jahrhundert sehr stark bestimmen wird. Der Autor zeigt dies anhand konkreter Beispiele auf den Ebenen der alltäglichen Lebenswelten, der Organisationen und gesellschaftlicher Institutionen.

Migration irritiert und problematisiert symbolische und strukturelle, rechtliche sowie territoriale Grenzen. Sie können aufgelöst, aber eben stets auch wieder neu gezogen bzw. transformiert werden. Dabei spielen nicht zuletzt pädagogische Handlungsfelder und Institutionen eine entscheidende Rolle. Mit ihren allesamt erziehungswissenschaftlich orientierten Beiträgen zielen die AutorInnen des Bandes der Reihe ‚Studien zur Schul- und Bildungsforschung‘ des ZSB Halle darauf, solchen Prozessen von Auflösung und Grenzziehung theoretisch und empirisch auf die Spur zu kommen.
