Bücher der Reihe Routledge Research in Transnationalism

This book explores Japan-in-transition from internationalization to globalization from the perspectives of language and identity. The chapters address how national identity has faced the shift from hard to soft power, offer critical analyses of multilingual practices, and investigate what teaching, learning and using Japanese mean in the context of increasing mobility.

Against a background of past, limited examples of international cooperation, and ambitious hopes for extensive future efforts, this volume puts two related questions to the empirical test: under which conditions are states prepared to cooperate over international migration, and what form - bilateral, multilateral, formal, informal - will this cooperation take?

Using case studies from those who have moved either transnationally or within their own country, international contributions offer various definitions of what it means to make a living on the move.

Marriages spanning borders are not a new phenomenon, but occur with increasing frequency and contribute substantially to international mobility and transnational engagement. Perhaps because such migration has often been treated as ΓÇÿsecondaryΓÇÖ to labor migration, marriage has until recent years been a neglected field in migration studies. In contemporary Europe, transnational marriages have become an increasingly focal issue for immigration regimes, for whom these border-crossing family formations represent a significant challenge. This timely volume brings together work from Europe and beyond, addressing the issue of transnational marriage from a range of perspectives (including legal frameworks, processes of integration, and gendered dynamics), presenting substantial new empirical material, and taking a fresh look at key concepts in this area.
