The international Summer School calls upon PhD students from various disciplines whose dissertation research is predominately preoccupied with the cross-border circulation of people, things, ideas and capital. To this end, the Summer School will pursue three main objectives:

-A primary aim of the Summer School is to foster an exchange between representatives of various fields, each with its own respective range of instruments that work out empirical analyses of transnationalization (or simply, transnational processes). An outcome in this dimension can be, from a historical perspective, a periodization of what is frequently referenced as a merely new phenomenon: transnationalization, and in a systematic perspective, the outline of an empirically saturated definition of transnationalization can emerge.
-A second objective is to acquaint oneself with the debates surrounding transnationalization in the various disciplines, as well as to promote dialogue with objections that have been formulated against the focus upon the transnational phenomenon.

-Finally, the purpose of the Summer School is to seek answers as to why certain societies are situated stronger in their focus upon transnational research than others, and whether this (from a critically re-flexive research perspective) reveals the continuing dissimilarities between the various disciplines and academic cultures, or whether it is a revelation of representative characteristics of the particular disci-plines.

This also raises the question as to whether the concept of transnationality mutatis mutandis can be assigned to older historical epochs and circumstances, which are not characterized by strong nationalization of politics, trade and society. Additionally, which characteristics can come to light with such a “stretching” of the concept of transnationalization?
