Drawing on unique research and rich data on cross-border practices, this book offers an empirically-based view on Europeans’ interconnections in everyday life. It looks at the ways in which EU residents have been getting closer across national frontiers: in their everyday experiences of foreign countries – work, travel, personal networks – but also their knowledge, consumption of foreign products, and attitudes towards foreign culture.

These evolving European dimensions have been enabled by the EU-backed legal opening to transnational economic and cultural transactions, while also differing according to national contexts. The book considers how people reconcile their increasing cross-border interconnections and a politically separating Europe of nation states and national interests.

Main chapters:

• Introduction: Social transnationalism in an unsettled continent
• Cartographies of social transnationalism
• The social structure of transnational practices
• Cultural boundaries and transnational consumption patterns
• Social transnationalism and supranational identifications
• Explaining supranational solidarity
• Narratives and varieties of everyday transnationalism
• Understanding Romanian's cross-border mobility in Europe: movers, stayers and returnees
• Transnational Turkey: the everyday transnationalism and diversity of Turkish populations in Europe
• Is social transnationalism fusing European societies into one?
