Since the publication of ‘Nations Unbound’ (Basch et al. 1994), studies on transnationalism have mushroomed. Despite ongoing debates about the nature of the concept, and the newness of the phenomenon, there is a growing consensus about the importance of taking into account migrants’ multi-stranded social ties which link together societies of origin and settlement.
