Global Networks

Aims & Scope

Global Networks is a path-breaking journal devoted to the social scientific understanding of globalization and transnationalism.

In the twenty-first century emerging transnational actors will play an ever more important role in both global and local affairs.

They represent the human face of globalization.

Such actors enter into the spaces opened up by the intersection of corporate capital, labour mobility and the new information, communication and transportation technologies.

A feature of globe-spanning interactions of all kinds is the building and sustaining of social, economic, political and cultural networks.
