Vor dem Hintergrund eigener langjähriger theoretischer und empirischer Studien zum Thema zeigt Ludger Pries, dass sich die artwork 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.
