Overview
This multidisciplinary course delves into the intricate realm of transnationalism, exploring its practices and strategies for intervention. Tailored for students specialising in organisational science, communication science, sociology, political science, public administration, anthropology, and related social science majors, this course offers a comprehensive exploration of transnational phenomena.
Throughout this course, students will engage in an in-depth analysis of transnational mobility, transnational care, and transnational organisational governance. The focus extends beyond observation, highlighting potential complexities and challenges inherent in transnational practices, particularly within multilevel governance structures, such as those evident within the European Union.
In addition to theoretical exploration, students will be introduced to analytical frameworks such as the Governance Analytical Framework (GAF) and Coleman's Boat for social mechanism exploration. These frameworks serve as invaluable tools, enabling students to dissect complex social problems and unveil underlying mechanisms. The application of these analytical approaches aims to demystify intricate social phenomena, providing students with transferable skills beneficial for future social science studies and research endeavours.
