Their migration systems react in a quite different way on such externally caused incidents or shocks, even in slightly comparable contexts. Consequences are increasing migrations and mutual interactions between sending and receiving countries as well as strong linkages of international migrations and internal migratory movements. Against this backdrop, the aim of the paper is to stress the “regional element” of transnationalism. Thus, we suggest to broadening the concept of transnationalism with a new transregional perspective in order to strengthen the spatial issue in migration studies.engmigrationmigration systemstransnationalismtransregionalismbookpart
