This groundbreaking book delves into transdisciplinary scholarship, boldly challenging the established agendas and markers within traditional social scientific fields. It firmly anchors its foundation on the belief that the exploration of critical global cultural and political economies thrives when approached from a perspective that refuses to be bound by the limitations imposed by disciplinary, conceptual, symbolic, or material boundaries. Renowned established and early career academics actively engage with contemporary political sociology, embracing the transformative 'global and 'cultural turns of recent decades. They critically examine categories such as state, civil society, family, migration, citizenship, and identity, recognizing their inadequacy in capturing the intricate complexities of the global landscape. This book explores the boundaries of global theory, navigates the challenges of global citizenship, and sheds light on the intricate relationship between globalization and situated and mobile subjects and objects. Its rich content will captivate scholars across a wide range of disciplines, including International Relations, Political Science, Sociology, Political Sociology, Social Theory, Geography, Area studies, and European studies. By transcending traditional boundaries, this book offers a fresh and insightful perspective, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping our world.
