Fielding Transnationalism

Fielding Transnationalism presents a collection of original essays that explore the promises of the theory of social fields, a concept advanced most prominently by Pierre Bourdieu, for the analysis of global relations. * Features contributions from leading experts who scrutinize how transnational relationships in different areas are shaped by field dynamics * Draws on case studies ranging from the fields of religion, journalism, human rights, the social sciences, imperial governance, and the arts to the European Central Bank * Combines theoretical discussion with empirical approaches to provide an essential teaching resource on global issues * Offers a conceptual toolkit for researchers concerned with international and transnational phenomena across the social sciences
